To what extent this is currently impacting on biodiversity and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) is not yet fully known, especially in Fiji and Vanuatu.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

Tropical countries are making ambitious commitments to Forest Landscape Restoration with the aim of locking up carbon, conserving biodiversity and benefiting local livelihoods. However, global and national analyses of restoration potential frequently ignore socio-legal complexities which impact both the effectiveness and equitability of restoration. We show that areas with the highest restoration potential are disproportionately found in countries with weak rule of law and frequently in those with substantial areas of unrecognised land tenure.
When the Global Environment Facility was launched in 1991 to address the world’s most urgent environmental crises, 2 percent of its grants were allocated to forest conservation.
The introduction of newly established National Forestry Monitoring System (NFSM) will help track and report changes in Samoa’s lush green tropical forests...The NFMS will enable Samoa to track and report changes in forest cover and forest carbon stocks, contributing to sustainable forest manageme
New research into the causes of the devastating global biodiversity crisis has found that the conversion of natural forests and grasslands to intensive agriculture and livestock is the biggest cause.
