The Government of the Kingdom of Tonga has formally proposed the designation of the entire Ha'apai Group, the 62 central islands of Tonga (see maps below), as a Conservation Area (CA) under the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)'s South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme (SPBCP). The proposal to SPBCP for the funding of a "Ha'apai Conservation Area Project" (HCAP) has been subsequently approved by SPBCP as Tonga's project under SPBCP, subject to the completion of a detailed Project Preparation Document (PPD) by the Kingdom of Tonga. This document constitutes the PPD for the Ha'apai Conservation Area Project.
