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.
