Palau, a Pacific Island nation, has taken a strong stance against the export of live reef fish, citing environmental concerns and threats to marine biodiversity. The government has banned at least one company found to be involved in this type of trade. This decision aligns with broader regional efforts to safeguard fragile reef ecosystems from over fishing and unsustainable commercial practices.

Palau has banned the export of live reef fish to protect its marine resources and biodiversity. This action follows concerns over the ecological impact of such exports, including the depletion of key reef species. At least one company involved in live fish export has been barred from operating in the country. The move reflects growing efforts in the Pacific to regulate the live fish trade and prioritize sustainable fishing practices.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 26:40

The KBA identification process requires a highly inclusive, consultative, and bottom-up, approach focused on the national level when proposing sites to communities.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

Conservation science is having a reckoning with parachute science. In the parachute science models, scientists drop into a foreign country with preconceived notions, seeking to validate their assumptions without genuine
engagement with local people, ideas, epistemologies, methodologies,
and knowledges, and leave without giving back to the
place from which they extracted.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 4 p.
