CEPF's investment in the Polynesia-Micronesia Biodiversity Hotspot was guided by the following strategic directions as outlined in the ecosystem profile.
- Prevent, control and eradicate invasive species in Key Biodiversity Areas.
- 1.1 Strengthen defenses against the introduction and spread of invasive species and pathogens that threaten biodiversity.
- 1.2 Control or eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas, particularly where they threaten native species with extinction.
- 1.3 Perform research, provide training in management techniques, and develop rapid response capacity against particularly serious invasive species.
- 1.1 Strengthen defenses against the introduction and spread of invasive species and pathogens that threaten biodiversity.
- Strengthen the conservation status and management of 60 Key Biodiversity Areas.
- 2.1 Develop and manage conservation areas that conserve currently unprotected priority sites, especially critical refugia such as large forest blocks and alien-free habitats.
- 2.2 Improve the management of existing protected areas that are priority site outcomes.
- 2.1 Develop and manage conservation areas that conserve currently unprotected priority sites, especially critical refugia such as large forest blocks and alien-free habitats.
- Build awareness and participation of local leaders and community members in the implementation of protection and recovery plans for threatened species.
- 3.1 Develop and implement species recovery plans for highly threatened species requiring species-focused action, especially those that have received little effort to date.
- 3.2 Strengthen leadership and effectiveness of local conservation organizations by developing peer-learning networks and promoting exchanges and study tours.
- 3.3 Raise the environmental awareness of communities about species and sites of global conservation concern through social marketing and participatory planning and management approaches.
- 3.1 Develop and implement species recovery plans for highly threatened species requiring species-focused action, especially those that have received little effort to date.
- Provide strategic leadership and effective coordination of CEPF investment through a regional implementation team.
- 4.1 Build a broad constituency of civil society groups working across institutional and political boundaries toward achieving the shared conservation goals described in the ecosystem profile.
