La mise en œuvre du projet PROTEGE sur la thématique des EEE sur le Paysage Culturel Taputapuatea ne peut être garantie sans un appui en termes de sensibilisation et de communication. En effet, cela permettra une meilleure appropriation des actions de mise en œuvre de la gestion et de la restauration du site UNESCO par la population locale, et cela permettra également aux acteurs locaux de mieux agir sur cette thématique et de faire évoluer les pratiques à court, moyen et long terme afin de garantir l’intégrité du Bien et la reconduction du label UNESCO. La mission de sensibilisation va permettre d’informer les acteurs locaux sur les généralités des EEE et leurs moyens de lutte/éradication associés, et sur les EVP et leur conservation et restauration. Elle passera par des phases d’information, de connaissances, et d’actions pédagogiques, ludiques avec des visites et ateliers de terrain. L’élaboration du plan de sensibilisation place au cœur de sa stratégie des publics cibles auxquels sont associés : des objectifs et messages de sensibilisation, des moyens, et des outils/supports adéquats et adaptés aux publics cibles.

Rodents remain one of the most widespread and damaging invasive alien species on islands globally. The current toolbox for insular rodent eradications is reliant on the application of sufficient anticoagulant toxicant into every potential rodent territory across an island. Despite significant advances in the use of these toxicants over recent decades, numerous situations remain where eradication is challenging or not yet feasible. These include islands with significant human populations, unreceptive stakeholder communities, co-occurrence of livestock and domestic animals, or vulnerability of native species. Developments in diverse branches of science, particularly the medical, pharmaceutical, invertebrate pest control, social science, technology and defense fields offer potential insights into the next generation of tools to eradicate rodents from islands. Horizon scanning is a structured process whereby current problems are assessed against potential future solutions. We undertook such an exercise to identify the most promising technologies, techniques and approaches that might be applied to rodent eradications from islands. We highlight a Rattus-specific toxicant, RNA interference as species-specific toxicants, rodenticide research, crab deterrent in baits, prophylactic treatment for protection of non-target species, transgenic rodents, virus vectored immunocontraception, drones, self-resetting traps and toxicant applicators, detection probability models and improved stakeholder community engagement methods. We present a brief description of each method, and discuss its application to rodent eradication on islands, knowledge gaps, challenges, whether it is incremental or transformative in nature and provide a potential timeline for availability. We outline how a combination of new tools may render previously intractable rodent eradication problems feasible.
