Abstract
Abaca is one of 6 villages inland from Lautoka, Fiji, that have together agreed to set aside part of their land as a conservation area. The special features that make their area very important are the presence of one of the few last stands of submontane dakua makadre (kauri) forest and an extensive nesting area for the now rare native ga-ni-viti (Peregrine falcon). In addition, this area has at least 11 plant species that have been found only here and nowhere else in the world. The Fiji government nominated this area to be one of 17 Conservation Areas (CA) under the SPBCP. The 17 CAs are scattered in 12 different island countries of the Pacific.
