Kitolelei, Jokim

Makhoul, Natalie

Fisherwomen in Fiji play a vital role in the daily sustenance of their families and they use their Indigenous and local knowledge to harvest resources. Marine and freshwater resources harvested by fisherwomen contribute to the primary protein intake of their families, particularly for those who have limited or no access to other animal products or plant proteins.

Drivers of Global Mangrove Loss and Gain in Social-Ecological systems

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Hagger, Valerie

Lovelock, Catherine. E

Worthington, Thomas. A

et al

Mangrove forests store high amounts of carbon, protect communities from storms and support fisheries. Mangroves exist in complex social-ecological systems hence identifying socioeconomic conditions associated with decreasing losses and increasing gains remains challenging albeit important.

Spatial use of Marine Resources in a Rural Village: A case study from Qoma, Fiji

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Kitolelei, Salanieta

Lowry, John. H

Qaqara, Nemillie

et al

Understanding the values of fishers' Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge (TIK) and of fishers' spatial use of customary fishing grounds is an important contributing factor to marine resource management. This study investigates and documents TIK marine resource and the associated spatial knowledge of fishing areas in Qoma, a rural fishing village in Fiji.

Melanesia holds the World’s most Diverse and Intact Insular Amphibian Fauna

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Bower, Deborah. S

McDonald, Peter. J

Oliver, Paul M.

et al

Identifying hotspots of biological diversity is a key step in a conservation prioritisation. Melanesia centred on the vast island of New Guinea - is increasingly for its exceptionally species rich and endemic biota. Here we show that Melanesia has the world's most diverse insular amphibian fauna, with over 7% of recognised global fog species in less than 0.7% of the world's land area and over 97% of species endemic.

Protected area Personnel and Ranger numbers are Insufficient to Deliver Global Expectations

Biodiversity Conservation

Appleton, Michael R.

Courtiol, Alexandre

Emerton, Lucy

et al

The 2020 global spatial targets for protected areas set by the Convention on Biological Diversity have almost been achieved, but management e3ffectiveness remains deficient.

Mangroves provide Blue Carbon Ecological value at a low Freshwater Cost

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Berger, Uta

Chen, Luzhen

Krauss, Ken W.

Lovelock, Catherine. E

et al

Blue carbon wetland vegetation has a limited freshwater requirement. One type, magroves utilizes less freshwater during transpiration than adjacent terrestrial ecoregions, equating to only 43% to 57% of evapotranspiration.

Post-2025 Climate Finance Target: how much more and how much better?

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Moslener, U

Pauw, W. P.

Zamarioli, L H

et al

Climate finance has always been a issues at the UN climate negotiations. The support to developing countries for mitigation (eg promoting renewable energy or low carbon transport) and adaptation (eg making the agricultural and water sector climate resilient to physical climate impacts) is key to building and maintaining trust.

Clustering Tropical Cyclone Genesis on ENSO timescales in the Southwest Pacific

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Espejo, Antonio

Singh, Awnesh

Tu’uholoaki, Moleni

et al

Tropical cyclones (TCs) as a natural hazard pose a major threat and risk to the human population globally. This threat is expected to increase in a warming climate as the frequency of severe TCs in expected to increase.

Avoiding the Misuse of other Effective Area-based Conservation measures in the wake of the Blue Economy

Biodiversity Conservation, PIPAP

Available Online

Ban, Natalie C

Biythe, Jessica

Claudet, Joachim

et al

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) represent unique opportunities to help achieve the 2030 biodiversity conservation agenda. However, potential misuse by governments and economic sectors could compromise the outcome of theses conservation efforts.

Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems Interactions – From key concepts to model implementation with OSeMOSYS

Environmental Governance, Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Alfstad, Thomas

Niet, Taco

Ramos, Eunice Pereira

et al

The climate, land, energy and water systems (CLEWs) approach guides the development of integrated assessments. The approach includes an analytical component that can be performed using a simple accounting methods, soft-linking tools, incorporating cross-systems considerations in sectoral models, or using one modelling tool to represent CLEW systems.
