Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Peters, Katharina J.

Climate impacts affect marine ecosystems worldwide with islands nations such as New Zealand being extremely vulnerable because of their socio-economic and cultural dependence on the marine and coastal environment.

Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems Interactions – From key concepts to model implementation with OSeMOSYS

Environmental Governance, Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Alfstad, Thomas

Niet, Taco

Ramos, Eunice Pereira

et al

The climate, land, energy and water systems (CLEWs) approach guides the development of integrated assessments. The approach includes an analytical component that can be performed using a simple accounting methods, soft-linking tools, incorporating cross-systems considerations in sectoral models, or using one modelling tool to represent CLEW systems.

Industrialised Fishing Nations largely Contribute to Floating Plastic Pollution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Biodiversity Conservation, Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

Lebreton, Laurent

Peytavin, Axel

Royer, Sarah-Jeanne

et al

The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A large fraction is composed of fishing nets and ropes while the rest is mostly composed of hard plastic-objects and fragments, sometimes carrying evidence on their origin.

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

The Pacific is home to around 27% of the world’s corals, spread out over vast areas. The remoteness of reefs and capacity constraints present unique challenges for Pacific States to gather scientific information

Building Forward Together - Towards an Inclusive and Resilient Asia and the Pacific

Environmental Governance, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

The pandemic further widened existing inequalities and vulnerabilities. Evidence also shows the reversal of hard-won gains in poverty reduction in several countries in the region. All this is happening alongside intensifying environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and te continued onslaught of natural hazards and climate change.

Available Online

Conners, Melinda G.

Pierre, Agamboue D.

Sisson, Nicholas B

et al

Marine Protected areas (MPAs), particularly large MPAs, are increasing in number and size around the globe in part to facilitate the conservation of marine megafauna.

Global Protected Areas seem Insufficient to Safeguard half of the World Mammals from Human-Induced Extinction

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Rondinini, Carlo

Tilman, David

Williams, David R.

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.
