Protected areas for Pacific Island Communities - Managing natural resources now and for the future (Poster)Online - PosterCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1p. : ill, (col.)

The loss of nature is global ecological and economic catastrophe. As we have seen with the recent surge of hurricanes and typhoons, when nature's services we've long taken for granted begin to fall, it is poor communities that suffer most. Further, countless of people depend on the marine environment for their livelihoods. Thus addressing the decline of the health of our ocean should be a priority for all.
