Strategy, Action Plan and Priority Pilot Activities on Pitcairn Islands - PROTEGE
SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

The Territorial Invasive Species Strategy and Action Plan (TISSAP) is the result of a combination of external expertise and local consultations. An analysis of the existing documentation enabled the preparation of a study and consultation mission that was unprecedented for this isolated territory.
Stratégie, plan d'action et opérations pilotes prioritaires à Pitcairn

2025
En septembre 2024, les autorités de Pitcairn ont adopté le premier document de planification de la gestion des espèces exotiques envahissantes du territoire. Celui-ci vise à formaliser la priorisation des problématiques à traiter, ainsi que les ressources nécessaires, afin de faciliter la sollicitation de soutiens extérieurs. L’élaboration de la Stratégie et Plan d’Action Espèces Envahissantes du Territoire (TISSAP, en anglais) résulte de la combinaison d’expertises externes et de consultations locales. L’analyse de la documentation existante a permis de préparer une mission d’étude et de consultation inédite pour ce territoire isolé. Elle a permis des observations de terrain en matière de biosécurité, l’identification d’espèces végétales envahissantes et la formulation de recommandations pour informer les consultations locales. Aujourd’hui, le territoire et ses 51 habitants disposent d’un document qui facilitera la mobilisation d’appuis extérieurs et la coordination des efforts, essentiels au regard des moyens humains et matériels limités, pour préserver une biodiversité exceptionnelle des espèces exotiques envahissantes.

Le rapport présente les résultats de la caractérisation et la sectorisation des zones d'intervention du projet PROTEGE en Nouvelle-Calédonie au sein des trois zones prioritaires sélectionnées par le groupe technique. Ce travail de sectorisation a pour objectif de contribuer à la détermination, au sein des trois zones prioritaires, des zones d’environ 10 000 ha correspondant aux zones d’intervention optimales (ZI) pour les opérations de régulation des populations d’ongulés, en particulier de régulation professionnelle au sol et/ou héliportée. La démarche méthodologique qui a été retenue pour identifier les zones d’intervention au sein de chacune des trois Zones Prioritaires s’appuie sur la caractérisation du « risque cerf », qui représente le niveau potentiel de menace généré par les cerfs sur les différents enjeux présents au sein des ZP. Le calcul de ce niveau de risque repose sur (i) la pression "cerf", qui peut se matérialiser par le niveau d'abondance, de fréquentation, de concentration ou de niveau historique de dégradation; (ii) le degré d'enjeu du point de vue environnemental (valeur intrinsèque de la biodiversité ou services écosystémiques rendus) ou du point de vue anthropique (ex : zones agricoles).
Pitcairn Island Desktop study on invasive alien species

Pagad, S.

2022
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.

Cette liste noire est une actualisation de l’arrêté n°2016-407 suite à la prestation d’une biologiste, la consultation d’associations et services en 2022. ».
Tokelau/Kimoa Rat, feral pig and feral cat eradication Operational Plan
SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

Jacques, P.

2024
This operational plan presents the methodology and logistics for executing eradications of Pacific rats (Rattus exulans), Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) and feral cats (Felis catus) in Tokelau. This document stems directly from a feasibility report completed in January 2024. For details on the site, biodiversity values, the target species etc, please refer to the feasibility report. Planning issues and dependencies that must be resolved in the planning stage of the eradication were identified in the feasibility report. Pre-eradication trials were proposed to resolve questions around tools and techniques; the methodology for these trials is developed in Section 1 below. This should be used as a “living document”, the contents of which will inevitably change as planning for the eradication proceeds and as the results of pre-eradication trials are reported.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, a significant threat to biodiversity, conservation efforts and Indigenous cultural identity is the unwanted introduction of invasive pests, plants and pathogens. Currently methods to control invasive species in Aotearoa New Zealand, in particular mammalian pests (i.e. possums (Trichosurus vulpecula)) have had decreasing public support. This has likely come about for a number of reasons, including lack of social engagement and concerns over impacts combined with an increasing distrust of top-down initiatives. Aims and methods. We analysed opinions towards existing and emerging technologies to manage invasive species. Data were obtained from 1015 respondents who identified as Indigenous Maor ¯ i from a national survey of 8199 respondents. Utilising psychological frameworks to investigate underlying beliefs of social acceptance, we analysed the responses using exploratory and latent class analysis methods to summarise the main perspectives.

Invasive rodents threaten global island biodiversity and have been eradicated from hundreds of islands. Eradication efforts can be contentious due to animal welfare concerns and risk to non-target species. The news media plays a critical role by providing context for eradications. To better understand how the news media frame invasive rodent eradications, we conducted a thematic content analysis of 462 newspaper articles published in newspapers from 13 countries between 1993 and 2014. Our results suggest that unique aspects of rodent eradications may encourage conquest framing, and cultural contexts of place shape framing between countries. We conclude that conquest framing by the media has largely supported rodent eradication effort

This paper is a report of the Pacific Invasives Learning Network (PILN) Meeting that was held in 2023, in Apia Samoa. PILN’s mission is to empower effective invasive species management through a participant-driven network that meets priority needs, rapidly shares skills and resources, provides links to technical expertise, increases information exchange, and accelerates on-the-ground action. The Meeting objectives were to: 1. Share the state of Invasive Species management across the region, share success stories and case studies, and advance invasive species management in-country. 2. Introduce and discuss PRISMSS frameworks, systems, and tools in place to facilitate and address PICTs needs. 3. Discuss ways to invigorate future networking and collaboration between PICTs in sharing technical expertise, information, and successful management approaches.

Session 2 of the Regional Weeds Prioritisation workshop features Quentin Paynter introducing a new prioritisation tool to rank weeds importance. Using natural enemies is often the most cost-effective means of reducing the impacts of invsaive weeds, however it cannot tackle all invasive weeds species in the Pacific, and not all invasive weeds make good targets. So how do we decide which species to target? This is the catalyst of this session.
