This NEMS 2015-2020 follows a two year consultation process with government, private sector, non-government organisations (NGOs), and Kaupule planners. It was led by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The consultation process proved to be a challenge due to the geographical layout of our islands, broad coverage of the environment sector, and the wide range of stakeholders who were consulted.
This TNBSAP is truly a product of sustainable development planning where stakeholders were fully consulted right from the inception planning process through to the adoption of agreed biodiversity priority issues, constraints and possible solutions. This TNBSAP is therefore fully owned by the people of Tuvalu.
This first SOE was prepared as a major component of the NEMs project. It summarises the state of marine resources, cultural and archaeological resources, socio-economic environment, and outline environmental challenges facing Tuvalu at the time.
Triggering actions for accelerating MDG progress is the ultimate objective of this report

This review was prepared jointly by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) and the Environmental Defenders Office Ltd (EDO NSW), updates and builds on the reviews conducted in the early 2000s under the International Waters Project.
This Fifth Tuvalu National Report (5th Report) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) summarizes the nature, cultural importance, conservation status and threats changes to Tuvalu’s Biodiversity and actions taken or that need to be taken to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity since the submission of the fourth national report in 2010.

Avariety of factors can affect the biodiversity of tropicalmammal communities,
but their relative importance and directionality remain uncertain. Previous
global investigations of mammal functional diversity have relied on range
maps instead of observational data to determine community composition. We
test the effects of species pools, habitat heterogeneity, primary productivity
and human disturbance on the functional diversity (dispersion and richness)
of mammal communities using the largest standardized tropical forest camera
This synthesis focuses on estimates of biodiversity change as projected for the 21st century by models or
extrapolations based on experiments and observed trends. The term biodiversity is used in a broad
sense as it is defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity to mean the abundance and distributions
of and interactions between genotypes, species, communities, ecosystems and biomes. This synthesis
pays particular attention to the interactions between biodiversity and ecosystem services and to
