Report of the Eighth (8th) Roundtable Regional Conference on Protected Areas and Nature Conservation (PIRT), Review of the Action Strategy for Nature Conservation in the Pacific Island Region 2003-2007: Report 2: Recommendations for strengthening the action strategy and enhancing its implementation

Abstract

The Action Strategy for Nature Conservation in the Pacific Islands Region for 2003-2007, arose out of the 7th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas which was held in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, in July 2002. It was then endorsed by the member country representatives of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) at the September 2003 SPREP Meeting and it was meant to represent a consensus on the priority concerns for conservation and ways in which these can be addressed.
