Ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM). The ESRAM process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of EbA options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of selected areas to the impacts of climate change and direct anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems and socio-economy. EbA options will point to specify key climate change issues and specific sites for which impactful EbA projects can then be developed and implemented.

River catchment restoration are efforts to support the restoration of the Tagabe River and study the possibility of creating corridors for biodiversity. PEBACC+ Project will support tree planting, buffer zone creation, erosion and flood control, community awareness and mobilisation, waste management and governance. Special attention will be given to monitoring and maintenance of the trees planted.

Forest rehabilitation are efforts to restore tree cover and an important contributor to forest recovery. PEBACC+ peoject will support the collection and propagation of seedlings at Barana Community Nature and Heritage Park and put in place a silvicultural programme.

PEBACC+ aims to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems, economies and people to the impacts of climate change. The Project will support the coastal protection of Ouvea (Loyalty Islands Province) the restoration of urban mangroves in Greater Noumea (South Province) and secure water provision in Kouaoua (North Province)

LE projet PEBACC+ (Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change Plus/Phase 2) est un projet régional mis en ouvre par le Secrétariat du Programme régional océanuen pour l'environnement (PROE) et financé par l'initiative Kiwa a travers l'Agebce francaise de développement (AFD) et la Facilité francaise pour l'environnement mondial.

In July 2022, a Ni-Vanuatu team of scientists from Eco Lifelihood Development Association, Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation DEPC, Department of Forests-Vanuatu, The University of the South Pacific & Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme - SPREP with communications support from Savvy Vanuatu went to west Malekula to conduct a Biological Rapid Assessment (BIORAP) on the plant and animal species found in the area.

In this video, Frazer Alo, Malampa Environment Extension Officer, and Thomas Doro, the Acting Herbarium Curator at the Department of Forestry, explain the process of surveying plants in the field and why this is important.

To improve understanding of the impact of communities on their natural ecosystems, land use surveys conducted in the three Key Biodiveristy Areas (KBA) of West Malekula: Wiawi, Bamboo Bay and Tisiri Lagoon.

Ornithologist Andrew Morris joined the Biological Rapid Assessment (BIORAP) team to Malekula to lead the bird study in Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in July 2022. Bird species were identified by listening to bird calls, audio recordings, visual sighting, and photographs taken with special bird cameras. In the KBAs, the key bird species found include the Vanuatu Kingfisher, Vanuatu Streak Fantail, and Vanuatu White Eye.
