About

This project focuses on addressing the gaps in the limited data available to guide decisions for forest communities in the area of plant invasive species. The project anticipates to achieve two short-term outcomes, these include the development and publication of localised plant invasive species models for research and policy advice for Tonga and Fiji. The FIT support will implement the relevant scoping work, data collection and the building of a Localised Plant Invasive species models for research and policy advice for Tonga and Fiji. This is important considering the lack of data available on forestry and in particular forest invasive species in the communities.

Ongoing

The Pacific Islands Roundtable for Nature Conservation (PIRT) is supported by the Pacific BioScapes Programme.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is a European Union (EU) funded action, managed and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).
The Programme contributes to the sustainable development of Pacific Small Island Developing States through the implementation of 30 focused activities taking place across a diversity of ecosystems in 11 countries (Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) that will address critical issues concerning coastal and marine biodiversity, and ecosystem-based responses to climate change adaptation.
