Description

This book documents the results of a three-year research project to identify sites of global importance for bird conservation in Fiji.

It draws on all previously published research on Fiji’s birds but relies mostly on data obtained from the 43 field surveys undertaken by this
project.

Those sites found to meet or exceed the selection criteria as defined by BirdLife international are designated as Important Bird Areas (IBAs).

IBA designation has no legal basis but it provides a strong scientific justification for the conservation of these areas.
