A rapid biodiversity assessment of 3 sites on Vanuatu's Malekula island covering flora, reptiles, birds, freshwater fish and crustaceans, and invasive ants.

The primary aim of this document is to provide a synthesis of current biodiversity knowledge to contribute towards the planning and implementation of a nationwide network of marine and terrestrial protected areas for Palau. This report provides a number of scenarios that give an overview of options for areas that could be included in the Protected Areas Network to meet biodiversity conservation goals. It is not intended that the areas presented represent actual areas that should be designated and managed as protected areas but this information can be used in the processes of community consultation and discussion at the State level to help progress the development of the Protected Areas Network.
