Development of conceptual models is an important step in the design of the Inventory and Monitoring Program. Conceptual models provide a framework for clarifying meaningful monitoring strategies, which enables us to progress from more general to more specific monitoring questions (Gross 2003). Monitoring efforts must be based on a fundamental understanding of how an ecosystem functions, which conceptual models provide. In addition, conceptual models promote communication among scientists, managers, and the public, providing a means for evaluation and discussion of ecosystem components. In two sections of the PACN Monitoring Plan, Chapter two and Appendix H, we present conceptual models developed to guide the design of the Network's long-term monitoring program.

Assessment of the conservation status of the leatherback turtle in the Indian Ocean and South-East Asia

Biodiversity Conservation

Hamann, Mark

While leatherback turtles share many features of their biology with the hard-shelled turtles, Family Cheloniidae, leatherback turtles also are characterized by a number of unique features. The leatherback turtle can be regarded as a warm-blooded reptile. They can maintain a core body temperature well above that of the surrounding waters. To maintain these elevated temperatures they must be able to generate endogenous heat via utilisation of thermogenic brow fat tissue.

CV&A : a guide to community vulnerability and adaptation assessment and action / compiled by Taito Nakalevu

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Nakalevu, Taito

The guide is a tool to understanding Pacific communities' vulnerability to climate change, variability and sea level change; and to determining what action needs to be carried out in order to adapt to these changes. In the CV&A process, the focus of data collection is the community that constitutes elders, men, women, youths and children. Their experience in relation to climate variability, change over time, and extreme events become very important. The assessment focuses on current vulnerability to both climate and non-climate related factors, and on examining current adaptive capacity. It then includes evaluation of vulnerability to future climate related risks, involving key stakeholders in the evaluation process. This eventually leads to the formulation of adaptation policies that would strengthen adaptive capacity.
