The South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme (SPBCP) : user guidelines (draft)

Abstract

The PD defines CA's as "generally large (relative to the island(s) on or around which they are established), diverse geographical units which contain important features for the conservation of the biological diversity of the region or country. Most will encompass a variety of land and resource uses. Conservation areas will be managed according to agreed criteria for the conservation of biological resources and sustainable community development which is ecologically compatible."
