Niue national biodiversity strategy and action plan (NBSAP)

Abstract

For us Niueans, the necessity to conserve the value of our biological diversity and its various components both for the present and future generations (atuhau tupuhake) is a genuine obligation. It must be a collective responsibility. Equally, it is necessary to take advantage of the convention to promote the customary principles and beliefs of our forefathers (tau tupuna) and their traditional conservation methods and practices of Niue's biological diversity, in a sustainable manner with minimal threat to species. We will endeavour to uphold Niue's obligations under the convention, while cognisant of our smallness and resource constraints to implement fully the prescribed strategies in this document.
