Common country assessment Kiribati : final draft 20 February 2002
Available Online

UN

2002
This common understanding among the UN partners of the key development challenges facing Kiribati will serve as the basis for developing a United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). This, in turn, will identify common objectives and a common time frame for UN system action and will assist individual UN agencies in their detailed programming exercises.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are chemicals that persist in the environment, accumulate in high concentrations in fatty tissues and are bio-magnified through the food-chain.

Housing in Samoa has undergone tremendous change in the last fifty years. While smaller and less permanent traditional Samoan houses, or fale, are still being widely used the big open round- or oval-shaped fale with thatched roofs have been largely replaced by open rectangular structures with corrugated iron roofs. Within the rural villages more and more families are building European-style dwellings with internal facilities such as kitchens and bathrooms.

One of the most oppressive and catastrophic experiences is to be trapped in a desert for some time without water and cover. The search for water to quench a lingering thirst can be a misery. Water obviously is a necessity for life. Water in its various forms is an essential media for transport, trade, and communication apart from other uses such as for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, gardening, fire fighting, and manufacturing processes. The quality as well as the adequacy of water has a significant impact on the level of sanitation, personal hygiene and economic status of a locality. Water shortage in drought stricken areas is the root cause of poor sanitation and consequently the occurrence of water-borne diseases and epidemics
Sustainable Management of the Marine Aquarium Trade Pacific Regional Workshop, 4-8 February 2001, Nadi, Fiji : proceedings / technically edited by Mary C. Power and David A. Fisk

This discussion will cover the topics listed below, with the aim of explaining, in simple terms, the complex organisation of coral reef ecosystems. The central theme is the inter-relationship between various components of the coral reef ecosystem and the way in which a change in one component may manifest changes in other components. Specifically, inter-relationships are explained in terms of a selective extractive activity such as that associated with the marine ornamental trade. Where possible, examples are drawn from organisms that are currently collected for the trade.

The Solomon Islands are the northern group of a huge arc of islands delimiting the Coral Seas and is situated in the Western Pacific. The Main Group Archipelago, MGA, orientated northwest to southeast, stretching about 1700 km between Bougainville, at the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea (PNG) to the northern-most islands of Vanuatu. The central archipelago of islands lies between latitudes 5o S and 12o S and longitudes 152o E and 163o E.
Report of the workshop on interactions between cetaceans and longline fisheries, Apia, Samoa, November 2002
Available Online

Michael Donoghue, Randall R. Reeves, Gregory S. Stone

2002
The problem of depredation by cetaceans on longline gear occurs worldwide, and has been recorded in a wide range of longline fisheries dating to at least the early 1950s. Depredation was defined in the context of this workshop as “ the removal of hooked fish or bait from longlines by cetaceans.” This was distinguished from predation, which was defined as “the taking of freeswimming fish (or other organisms) by cetaceans.”
Conservation of Kakerori (Pomarea dimidiata) in 2002/2003

In 1989, the kakerori (Pomarea dimidiata) was one of the 10 rarest bird species in the world with a declining population of just 29 birds. During each breeding season since then, rats have been poisoned within the 155 ha of forested hill country they occupy in southeastern Rarotonga. As a result, the kakerori population has rebounded, with a minimum of 259 birds being found on Rarotonga in August 2002. In 2001 and 2002, 20 yearlings were transferred to Atiu in the first two of three planned annual transfers to establish an ‘insurance’ population. In January 2003, three pairs of kakerori were found on Atiu, and successful breeding was proven with the discovery of six island-bred (unbanded) birds, belonging to at least two of the pairs. In 2002/03, the emphasis of management in the Takitumu Conservation Area shifted from the ‘recovery’ of kakerori to a programme aimed at ‘sustaining’ the population at about 250 individuals. The key to this work was the experimental reduction of rat poisoning effort, so that 30 territories had the standard weekly refills of poison bait stations, 29 received a fortnightly refill, and 20 received no rat control. As expected, breeding success was significantly better in poisoned areas (with an average of 0.95 fledglings per breeding territory) than in unpoisoned areas (with an average of 0.30 fledglings per breeding territory). This reduced rat control programme took 2–3 person days each week for 15 weeks, and used a total of 43 kg of Talon® (active ingredient brodifacoum), which was about 20% of peak poison use during the ‘recovery’ phase of the programme. The fortnightly poisoning regime offers promise as an effective, cheaper and less toxin-intensive method than that used previously.
The Federated States of Micronesia, National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP)

2002
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) was developed through a series of multi sectoral meetings and discussion throughout the nation over a period of 14 months. Representatives of the National and State Governments, Municipality Officials, Non Government Organizations (NGO), Academic Institutions, the private sector and resource owners participated. These consultations are part of the NBSAP project which was coordinated by the National Environmental Management and Sustainable Development Council (SD Council) through its working group, the “NBSAP panel”, which is comprised of representatives from relevant national agencies, NGO organizations and academic institutions on the Council. The Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) at the National Government was the lead agencies for the NBSAP project and was actively supported by counterpart agencies in each of the four FSM States: The Development Review Committee (DRC) in Kosrae State; the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) in Pohnpei State; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Chuuk State; and the Department of Resources and Development (DRD) in Yap State.
