Protected areas safeguard biodiversity, ensure ecosystem functioning and deliver ecosystem services to communities. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 9 p.
Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation and central to international
plans to minimize global extinctions. During the coming century, global ecosystem
destruction and fragmentation associated with increased human population and
economic activity could make the long-term survival of most terrestrial vertebrates even
more dependent on PAs.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 8 p.
To provide a doorway through which Pacific islands protected area practitioners can share expertise and benefit from opportunities. To provide up-to-date PA coverage data relevant information and management tools to support protected area decision making and planning. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 13 p.
Accelerating ecosystem degradation has spurred proposals ti vastly expand the extent of protected areas (PCs), potentially affecting the livelihoods and well-being of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) worldwide.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 13 p.
Over a million species face extinction highlighting the urgent need for conservation policies that maximize the protection of biodiversity to sustain its manifold contributions to people's lives. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 12 p.
For successful conservation of biodiversity, it is vital to know whether protected areas in increasingly fragmented landscapes effectively safeguard species. However, how large habitat fragments must be, and what level of protection is required to sustain species, remains poorly known.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 9 p.
List of conservation areas with area protected and management plan status within the RMI as of September 24, 2020.
There are 14 terrestrial PAs, which total at least 1407.2 hectares (five PAs are uncalculated), or about six per cent of the Cook Islands’ total 240 km2 land mass. Terrestrial PA are concentrated in a few locations. Three of the 15 islands in Cook Islands are wildlife reserves (Suwarrow, Takutea and Manuae), almost 40% of the terrestrial PAs are represented by four motu on Pukapuka, and three of Rarotonga’s four PAs make up 36% of total terrestrial PAs.
