2013
A Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded project is currently being implemented in Niue titled the “Prevention, Control and Management of Invasive Alien Species in the Pacific Islands”. This is a multicountry project and includes the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Tonga, and Samoa. Activities within the framework of this project include the conservation of priority species and ecosystems and the management of Invasive Alien Species (IAS).

During 10–21 September, quantitative surveys were carried out of birds and flying foxes using the same techniques as applied in earlier surveys, and searches carried out for a rare parrot and lizard. Bird counts showed that the lupe or Pacific imperial-pigeon population has recovered following a decline between 1994 and 2004 though the current hunting rate is considered unsustainable. Miti or Polynesian starling numbers have gradually declined over the period 1994–2012 which is a concern and hard to explain. Rat predation is a possible cause. There was also an indication that pekapeka or white-rumped swiftlet numbers have declined though more investigation is needed to confirm this. We were unable to find any hega or blue-crowned lory though a few individuals were reported to us. Numbers are clearly very low and the next step must be to gain a better understanding of where the species regularly occurs so that management can be applied

Niue is a self-governing nation in free association with New Zealand, located partway between Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands. Niue's economy is heavily dependent on support from New Zealand and aid accounts for 70% of Niue's GDP. Niue has a population of approximately 1625 people, making it the world's least populated state. Niue is vulnerable to climate risks such as Tropical Cyclones (TCs) and droughts; geological risks such as earthquakes and tsunami; and human-caused risks such as disease outbreaks and contamination of the water supply. As the world's largest elevated coral atoll, its rocky and rugged coastline has steep cliffs which offer marginal protection from risks such as tsunami. However as experienced in 2004 with the category 5 Tropical Cyclone Heta, TC-induced waves have the capacity to overtop the steep cliffs and wash boulders inland up to +25 m above sea level. Niue's isolation, small population, reliance on donor aid, limited water resources and marginal agricultural potential also contribute to its overall risk profile.

2012
Energy consumption in Niue is predominantly reliant on imported fossil fuels, which roughly account for over 99% of the country’s consumption. Petroleum fuel is currently supplied to Niue by REEF Bulk Fuels, which ship fuel in tanktainers on cargo ships from New Zealand. The fuels supplied are regular unleaded petrol (91 octane), diesel and jet fuel. In 2009 around 532 thousand litres of petrol, 1.2 million litres of diesel and 25.8 tonnes of LPG were imported into the country. The indicative fuel import bill for 2009 was estimated in the vicinity of NZD 3.2 million with the current total GDP of Niue standing at NZD 16.2 million.

This plan has been developed to reflect the essential steps to initiate, conduct and terminate an emergency marine spill response in Niue NATPLAN provides a concise and easy to follow guide to the management of spill response and associated linkages to supporting documentation. This plan consists of two main parts, Part A: The core plan text designed to provide key supporting information to assist with spill response operations and planning. Part B: Appendixes which contain Operational information for Oil Spill Planning, Preparedness & Response.
