This desktop study is focused on presenting known and available baseline data on alien and invasive species and key biodiversity of Pitcairn which will inform stakeholders during the development of the Territorial Invasive Species Strategy and Action Plan (TISSAP). It delivers annotated inventories of (i) invasive alien species by island, invasiveness and habitat including risk assessment ranking; (ii) key endemic and threatened species at island and site level; (iii) designated natural areas and ecosystems with notes on threat/pressures on these areas; (iv) An annotated inventory of at-risk invasive species in neighboring countries with pathways of introduction and dispersal and (v) invasive species prevention, management/control related projects undertaken on Pitcairn and on-going initiatives.

Papua New Guinea is a high biodiversity country in both the terrestrial and marine environments. Many new species of many different genera of plants and animals are still being 'uncovered' through ongoing and concentrated efforts by various researchers and institutions, incrementally filling in the gaps of our knowledge. Areas that were blank on the Conservation Needs Assessment map of 1994 have been filled in over the last 20 years, although many areas are yet to be surveyed.

Tonga is one of the many islands that are endowed with unique resources and derives much of its economic, environmental and social well-being directly or indirectly from its environment. Tonga harbours numerous special ecosystems: from the peak of Mt. Talau in Vava'u, to the serenity of Vai Lahi in Niuafo'ou; the vulnerability of the Ha'apai Group to 'Eua's National Forest and to the Fanga'uta Lagoon in Tongatapu.
