The North Pentecost Key Biodiversity Area was identified under the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund East Melanesian Islands Ecosystem Profile. The trigger species for the KBA comprised Vanuatu White-eye and New Hebrides Honeyeater. The survey, in 2022, indicated that, while Vanuatu White-eye occurs commonly throughout the KBA, the total area of the legacy site is less than 1% of the total range of the White-eye. Therefore, this species does not qualify as a trigger species under the KBA Standard (2016).
