Overall progress in management effectiveness for protected areas in PNG

The WDPA User Manual provides information and guidance about the data held within the WDPA, including its history, how it is collected, managed and distributed, and how it should be interpreted and used for analyses and research. The Manual has been prepared for WDPA data providers and users. It is structured in 4 sections and includes 6 appendices.

The Protected Areas Working Group (PAWG) of the Pacific Islands Round Table for Nature Conservation recommended a forum to better connect a diverse range of people and their work relating to protected and conserved areas. To increase efficacy with respect to gaining momentum with communications and conservation work, the Pacific Islands Protected Area Portal (PIPAP) was launched.

The Papua New Guinea National Action Plan was initiated and developed for a 10 year timeframe through a series of stakeholder consultations and workshops in 2012, and this process further continued in 2017. The main underlying focus of the National Action Plan is on the wise application and development of integrated and sustainable land management approaches and practices.

"The Papua New Guinea agricultural sector transformed by innovative information and communication
technologies, by 2023”.

Mean, maximum, minimum, monthly, and deity peak or lowest peak for water discharge by rivers and creeks in cubic metres per seconds (m3/s) in PNG between 1952 and 1964. Adapted from Commonwealth of Australia, Department at Works (CADoW) (1967) 0 = insufficient data. Data extracted from PNG SOE Report (page 198). Note: converted from pdf to excel format.

The InterRidge Vents Database is a global database of submarine hydrothermal vent fields. The InterRidge Vents Database is supported by the InterRidge program for international cooperation in ridge-crest studies (www.interridge.org).

CSV file containing the global distribution of hydrothermal vent fields in WGS84 coordinate system.

CSV file containing species richness values and mapping parameters for marine species (with a probability of occurrence > 0.5) derived from AquaMaps. A total of 33,512 species were used in the generation of this file.
Coordinate system is WGS84 (ESPG 4326) with coordinates expressed in longitude and latitude.

Fields in this file are:
C-Square Code: unique identifier for grid
Longitude: longitude in decimal degrees
Latitude: latitude in decimal degrees
Species Count: number of species modeled at given point

AquaMaps are computer-generated predictions of natural occurrence of marine species, based on the environmental tolerance of a given species with respect to depth, salinity, temperature, primary productivity, and its association with sea ice or coastal areas. These 'environmental envelopes' are matched against an authority file which contains respective information for the Oceans of the World. Independent knowledge such as distribution by FAO areas or bounding boxes are used to avoid mapping species in areas that contain suitable habitat, but are not occupied by the species.
