Cook Islands biodiversity strategy and action plan (NBSAP) : 2002

Abstract

The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is the way the Cook Islands people and the Government intend to conserve important plants and animals by positive action and sustainable use; and to reduce negative effects of invasive species. Although this process of “saving Cook Islands biodiversity” has been accelerated by the signing of the Convention on Biological Diversity, it is a process that has been underway for many years. The Cook Islands is pleased to have this opportunity to increase its efforts to ensure that future generations of Cook Islanders inherit a diverse range of plants and animals for their enjoyment and use.
