Abstract
The Conserving our sea of islands report provides the first
comprehensive assessment of area-based conservation in the region. The
23 countries and territories that it covers are diverse but share a
common identity and geography, as well as many other features such as
extensive customary ownership. The purpose of the report is to document
the status of protected and conserved areas in Oceania; review and
outline progress made towards achieving national and international
targets for protected and conserved areas, including for coverage,
representativeness, connectivity and effectiveness; showcase the
achievements and learnings from across the region to promote effective
management practices; and review and highlight relevant regional
protected and conserved area issues and provide guidance for
strengthening their management effectiveness, governance and equity.
