Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas
Nature conservation programmes in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) are guided by this regional conservation conference that has met every four to five years since 1975. It has become the principal gathering of government agencies, NGOs, community based organisations, donor agencies and expatriates concerned with conservation science and practice in the Pacific Islands region. An excellent platform to set a Pacific based and initiated agenda for Pacific conservation for the next five years.
The 10th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas was scheduled to be held in April 2020 in Noumea, hosted by the Government of New Caledonia. The event was postponed due to the COVID 19 pandemic and was rescheduled to be held 24-27th November as a full virtual event.
Previous Conference
The 9th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas held in Suva, Fiji in December 2013 adopted the Framework for Nature Conservation and Protected Areas in the Pacific Islands Region which covers a six year operational period from 2014 to 2020. The new Framework is aligned to the Global Aichi Biodiversity Targets and NBSAPs. The process for identifying a date and venue of the next conference will be initiated in due course.
