Abstract

Tonga’s vision for biological diversity and natural resources are to protect, conserve and enrich; and to be enjoyed by present and future generations. This can be achieved by fulfilling national targets for Target 11 in thematic areas of forest and marine ecosystems, species conservation, and agro-biodiversity, and strengthening local communities and civil society engagement, financial resources and mechanisms, economic valuation and building climate resilience through protected area integration and mainstreaming.
