Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation and central to international
plans to minimize global extinctions. During the coming century, global ecosystem
destruction and fragmentation associated with increased human population and
economic activity could make the long-term survival of most terrestrial vertebrates even
more dependent on PAs.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 8 p.

Accelerating ecosystem degradation has spurred proposals ti vastly expand the extent of protected areas (PCs), potentially affecting the livelihoods and well-being of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) worldwide.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 13 p.

Over a million species face extinction highlighting the urgent need for conservation policies that maximize the protection of biodiversity to sustain its manifold contributions to people's lives. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 12 p.

For successful conservation of biodiversity, it is vital to know whether protected areas in increasingly fragmented landscapes effectively safeguard species. However, how large habitat fragments must be, and what level of protection is required to sustain species, remains poorly known.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 9 p.

List of conservation areas with area protected and management plan status within the RMI as of September 24, 2020. 

Terrestrial Protected Areas are clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed through legal or other effective means, to achieve long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. (IUCN) As of 2026, there are 3 formally recognised Terrestrial Protected Areas in the Cook Islands: 

This Policy on Protected Areas (the Policy) has been developed by the Government of Papua New Guinea to support the development and management of a National Protected Area Network in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It will guide communities, organizations and agencies to harmonise their efforts in a structured and logical approach to the sustainability of existing and the development of new protected areas. The Policy offers a

Le nouveau Cadre du Pacifique insulaire 2021-2025 pour la conservation de la nature et les aires protégées a été approuvé lors de la Conférence et, par la suite, lors de la 30e Conférence du PROE en 2021, par 26 États et territoires Membres.
