(Third) Trust fund steering committee meeting, Saturday 6th July 2002, National Auditorium, Rarotonga Cook Islands : original documents

Abstract

At the Sixth Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation (Pohnpei, FSM 1997), Pacific island governments, non-governmental agencies and regional and international organisations active in nature conservation in the Pacific island region again called for the establishment of a regional trust fund for nature conservation. The trust fund idea was further promoted in the 1999 - 2002 Action Strategy for Nature Conservation and was endorsed by the Governing Council of SPREP in 1998.
