Bird surveys of Late and Fonualei Islands, Vava'u, Kingdom of Tonga : September 2013 - Draft report

Abstract

The objective of the project was improved conservation status of priority threatened species, consistent with selected outcomes set out in the Island Biodiversity Programme of Work (IBPOW). Surveys were initially aimed at establishing the status of species at different sites in the Vava'u Group, Niuafo’ou, Late and Fonualei to assess fate of introduced populations of Tongan Megapode. However cancellation of flights to Niaufo’ou resulted in work here being deferred.
