PACINET: a biosystemactics network for the Pacific: proposed approach & workplan / by Wilco Liebregts

Abstract

PaciNet is the name of the proposed "loop" of BioNET International for Pacific Island countries. BioNET-International is an organisation established to help developing countries implement various environmental conventions, including the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, and its taxonomic capacity building component, the Global Taxonomy Initiative. In keeping with the system adopted in the 13 loops already established, PaciNet will have support from a technical support network – AnzusLOOP, composed of Australia,New Zealand and the USA (Hawaii).
