Solomon Islands National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2009

This document, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for the Solomon Islands 2009, prepared by Richard L. Pauku and Winston Lapo for the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Meteorology, sets forth the national strategy and implementation actions for the conservation of biodiversity. Its primary purpose is to guide efforts to protect the rich biological diversity of the Solomon Islands. Key aims include ensuring that the national biodiversity is resilient and able to cope with the effects of climate change and improving the protection of forests. While the provided text does not detail specific obligations, deadlines, or compliance dates, the plan involves various government ministries (including Environment, Conservation and Meteorology; Agriculture and Livestock; Culture and Tourism; Education and Human Resource Development; Forestry; Fisheries and Marine Resources; Finance, National Reform and Planning; Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification; and Police, National Security and Prison Service) and other stakeholders (such as Community Based Organisations, International Non-Government Organizations, and research institutions like the American Museum of Natural History). The plan serves as a framework for future actions and potential regulations related to biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation for ecosystems, and forest protection across the Solomon Islands.
