The Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity provide a framework for assisting Governments, indigenous and local communities, resource managers, the private sector and other stakeholders, about how to ensure that their uses of biological diversity will not lead to its long-term decline.
The Akwé Kon Voluntary Guidelines are a tangible tool in keeping with the greater emphasis now placed by Parties to the Convention on practical results based on the identification and pursuit of outcome-oriented targets with a view to achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the current rate of loss of biological
It is a 2 page brochure which discusses the evolution in biotechnology and the need for biosafety measures to ensure the genetic modified organisms (GMOs) or the living modified organisms (LMOs) follow a national biosafety legislation to address the movement of LMOs across national borders.
This book is of worldwide benefit to people, for assessment and management of biological invasion risks
The purpose of this document is to support economic analysis in Pacific island countries (government and non-government organisations) by:
* illustrating the various steps involved in conducting a CBA using examples that are familiar to Pacific Islanders in context, content and challenges;
* providing practical tools to support local CBA; and
* promoting a consistent approach to CBA.
Because V. encelioides possesses numerous invasive characteristics and has already invaded many other parts of the world, it is important to develop a comprehensive understanding of the plant to limit its spread within Hawai‘i and prevent invasion of other Pacific island ecosystem
This fact sheet covers info on;

The main impacts of myna are on native birds and on people, by feeding on food crops such as papaya and tomato, nesting in buildings, and roosting in large, noisy night-time gatherings.
Documenting the recent progress in addressing a growing threat to ocean biodiversity and ecosystems
This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP)
Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity
The workshop aimed to equip island countries, and countries with islands, with the tools and information needed for urgent responses to the threats associated with alien invasive species
Pacific Information brief
