Abstract:
Conservation in the South Pacific Islands is being given a major shot in the arm, through the launching of the South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme (SPBCP), a five-year programme that is now getting underway. Funded to a total of US$10,000,000 through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as part of the Global Environment Facility, and with promised co-financing from the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau to an amount of A$2,500,000, the SPBCP will be managed in concert with Pacific Island countries by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) from its new headquarters in Apia, Western Samoa.

Abstract:
No one ever pretended that the conservation of biodiversity would be easy. Not only do conservation biologists and those responsible for implementing conservation programmes need to cope with the vagaries of a rapidly degrading global environment and the often poorly understood and unique requirements of a largely undescribed biota, they must also cope with human social systems and its plethora of minority interests. In an earlier issue of Pacific Conservation Biology, Leong Lim expressed his concerns about the operation and legitimacy of New South Wales' threatened species legislation. Partly he was concerned about the constitutional validity of the legislation and partly about difficulties for land owners, consultants, and government authorities in addressing the requirements of the legislation when information on individual threatened and listed species was incomplete. In this issue, the Scientific Committee set up under the legislation to determine listings of threatened species responds to Lim's criticisms. The Committee argues that they operate within the bounds of the legislation and are constrained by the requirements of the Act. The issue of "accountability" raised by Lim is important.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to set out the essential requirements for a successful regional agreement for sea turtles in the South Pacific. To achieve this, the current Regional Marine Turtle Conservation Programme (RMTCP) which runs under the auspice of the South Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) will be juxtaposed against the "best practice" in this area, as evinced by current development in international environmental law and a number of other regional agreements which focus exclusively on sea turtles.

Abstract:
Soil biota provide valuable ecosystem service, and their genetic resources have the potential to evolve and adapt to environmental changes. However, the rate and extent of climate change may be beyond the adaptive capability of many biological systems. Knowing the status of soil biodiversity is therefore vital for devising strategies to stabilize ecosystems by regulating nutrient, carbon and water cycles. However, there is currently little information on soil biodiversity in the South Pacific and its potential to respond to climate change and other environmental stresses. Globally, Europe has taken the lead to extensively study and collate information on soil biodiversity and its functions, and devise relevant policies and strategies. The development of a soil biodiversity inventory for the South Pacific would help determine the predominant soil organisms present and establish baseline data. The selection of a few indicator species groups to serve as standards could allow financially limited researchers to contribute to the monitoring of environmental impacts. This information would help identify appropriate soil management technologies to build resilience in agricultural systems, thus contributing to ensure food security. Other research areas for consideration include biological functions of soil biota, soil ecosystem services, traditional cultivation methods and genetic potential. Judicial use of current knowledge on the importance of mangrove forests in the carbon cycle, biosphere reserves in biodiversity conservation, and soil management technologies could increase soil organic matter and nutrients and reduce soil erosion and habitat loss.

Abstract:
SummaryBirders are generally nature-oriented; however, their understanding of key bird conservation issues remains under-examined. We surveyed English-speaking birders online and face-to-face, asking questions related to their views on conservation, conservation funding and their understanding of a global bird conservation programme (BirdLife International’s Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas [IBAs]). Most birders who responded to the survey were from Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa and the USA. Birders tend to value bird conservation in an ecocentric way, often citing the overarching importance of general biodiversity. The ecological roles that birds play were also highlighted, but this varied across socio-demographic groups. Despite their positive support for conservation, less than half of all birders surveyed were familiar with the IBA programme. Familiarity with IBAs was driven by socio-demographic factors, with males more familiar than females and South African birders more familiar than birders from Australia and the United Kingdom. Most birders are willing to make contributions to bird conservation when visiting key birding sites, however they also feel governments should remain the main funders of conservation. Opportunities to enhance engagement between birders and bird conservation groups exist with most indicating a desire to learn more about bird conservation at birding sites. Increasing access to relevant information and presenting opportunities to contribute to conservation at birding sites could provide tangible benefits for bird habitats, protected areas and bird conservation groups.

Abstract:
It is now just a bit more than six months to the inaugural meeting of the Australasian region of SCB ?The Biodiversity Extinction Crisis, a Pacific and Australasian Response?, which will be held July 10?12 2007 at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. This conference faces the major problems for biodiversity conservation in our region, existing and potential solutions and links to the global biodiversity initiatives. There will be five major themes: (I) Regional challenges (particular issues for our part of the world); (2) Managing threatening processess of universal importance; (3) Case studies of conservation in action, including biodiversity monitoring and assessment; (4) Conservation science and policy; and, (5) Conservation science and the community (non-government organizations, indigenous people). With Australian governments finally awakening to the reality of global warming and its consequences for Australasia, this meeting has the potential to make a significant impact on regional conservation. Not only is your attendance important to the success of the conference, but it is your opportunity to be heard on issues as important as water allocation for environmental flows in Australia, biodiversity conservation in the Southern Oceans, climate change and the allocation of resources to threatened species management.

Abstract:
This article presents the case of the creation and expansion of Namaqua National Park in Namaqualand, South Africa, to highlight the contradictions between global interests in biodiversity conservation and local livelihoods. Despite the policy shift in the conservation literature from ‘fortress’ to community-based conservation, we argue that in practice conservation still tends to dominate when there is a trade-off between Western-style conservation and support to the livelihoods of marginalized communities. This can again be explained by the hegemony of a conservation discourse that is shared by a network of actors. The article highlights the role played by powerful environmental organizations and wealthy individuals supporting conservation at the expense of land redistribution in Namaqualand. The combination of scientific research and finances provided by this actor-network aided the creation and expansion of the Park. Local people, however, see the expansion of the Park as direct and unfair competition for land that they wish to acquire through the land redistribution programme, as well as an indirect challenge to their local livelihoods. Whatever the merits of their case, it seems clear that communities aspiring to more land, together with advocates of human rights and poverty alleviation, remain on the margins in terms of policy influence, especially when they pursue goals that are perceived by the conservation advocates to be in conflict with those of biodiversity conservation.

Abstract:
When Myers (1988) published his first overview of threatened hotspots for conservation of biodiversity world-wide, most of the 10 areas he selected (for example, Madagascar, the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, the eastern slope of the Andes) were already known to be critically important. However, one of his hotspots, the small island territory of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, was an unexpected inclusion in the global priority list. Although well known to botanists as a living museum of unique and ancient plants, and to marine biologists as the site of the world's second largest coastal barrier reef, New Caledonia had been largely overlooked by the international conservation community. None the less, it ranks as one of the world's most endangered biodiversity hotspots and requires an immediate and substantial commitment of conservation resources.

Abstract:
In the South Pacific islands it is unrealistic to approach biodiversity conservation without, at the same time, addressing the social and economic needs of those who have a customary association with the area concerned. Cox and Elmqvist (1993) have recognized this and pursued an innovative course of action for rainforest protection. Their disappointment at the loss of an opportunity for external assistance to Tafua villagers for rainforest conservation is understandable. It is important that the reasons for this missed opportunity be known and understood.

Abstract:
Stewardship in South Africa, as it is being implemented within the framework of the Biodiversity Stewardship Programme (BSP), is an attempt by conservation agencies to engage landowners in the voluntary securing of parcels of biodiverse land, through signing a contract for a certain time period, not to develop the landscape in ways that will impact negatively on the biodiversity of the area in question. The focus of this study is the relationship between biodiversity stewardship and social learning, as I hope to ascertain how stewardship practices are helping to resolve the current problems of biodiversity loss in the Western Cape. The overall aim of this research is to gain an understanding of how, in its capacity as a conservation education process, the Cape Nature Stewardship Programme can foster social learning amongst the landowners involved in its implementation, by leading them to a better understanding of their environmental responsibilities. Data was generated through the use of interviews and informal discussions with participants together with document analysis, such as brochures, pamphlets and presentations. My approach to the analysis of my data was two-phased. In the first phase, I analysed the data generated from the interview process and from reviewing the documents the stewardship officials supplied me with. The second phase involved looking into the results of the two case studies, and formulating analytical statements which were then used to review the case evidence within a social learning perspective, derived from Wals (2007). In constructing an analytical framework for the interpretation of my data, I drew heavily on Wals' (2007) notion of social learning occurring in sequential activities. I used this insight as a lens through which to trace the educational effects of the implementation of the CNSP in the two case study areas.The research highlighted evidence that Stewardship initiatives should be based on the foundation of social learning and invest time and effort in building an environmental knowledge capital amongst the landowners involved. By equipping them with these necessary conservation skills, one creates a 'community of practice' where those individuals adopt a sustainability habitus contributing towards a change and environmental understanding and practises in field.
