Survey the terrestrial and near-shore environments of the remote Southern Lau group of islands. These rapid assessments will update data on the distribution and state of the islands' fauna and flora paying special attention to threatened species and recording the presence of invasive species of plants and animals. These data will be used to inform the Fijian government and conservation actors of the current status of these islands and threats they face to improve the conservation and management of these islands.

Strategic Direction: 2 Strengthen the conservation status and management of 60 key biodiversity areas
