Action Plan for Implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity's Programme of Work on Protected Areas - Fiji

Abstract

Fiji has a rudimentary system of protected areas, however, none of the areas have been selected on the basis of ecological knowledge or biodiversity values. Nonetheless, these sites in combination with other priority sites which have been identified for their biodiversity values, have the potential to provide the basis of a representative system of protected areas. The intention is for the representative system of protected areas to be augmented by a large number and variety of protected areas which are important at the provincial or local level.
