Current statusof the endangeredTuamotu Sandpiper or Titi Prosobonia cancellataand recommendedactions for its recovery.Wader StudyGroup Bull. 105: 93-100. The TuamotuSandpiper or Titi is the only survivingmember of the Tribe Prosoboniiniand is confinedto easternPolynesia. Formerly distributedthroughout the Tuamotu Archipelago,it has been decimatedby mammalianpredators which now occuron nearlyall atollsof the archipelago.Isolated sandpiper populations are currentlyknown from only four uninhabitedatolls in the Tuamotu.Only two of theseare currentlyfree of mammalianpredators, such as cats and rats, and the risks of rat invasionon themare high. This paper outlines tasksnecessary in the shortterm (within five years)to securethe species,together with longerterm actions neededfor its recovery.Short-term actions include increasing the securityof existingpopulations, surveying for otherpotential populations, eradicating mammalian predators on key atolls,monitoring key populations, and preparing a recovery plan for the species. Longer term actions necessaryfor recovery include reintroductions,advocacy and research programmes. INTRODUCTION ecologyof the TuamotuSandpiper as completelyas is cur- rently known, assessesthe

  • Activities RESCCUE in French Polynesia
    RESCCUE ACTIVITIES IN FRENCH POLYNESIA The French Biodiversity Agency (AFB) carried out the RESCCUE project in French Polynesia under the supervision of both SPC and the Government of French Polynesia and in partnership with the IRCP-EPHE, University of French Polynesia, Créocéan, GIE Océanide, PTPU, Vertigo Lab, the SOP Manu association and several individual consultants. Activities came to an end in October 2018 with a participatory lessons-learned workshop in Papeete and the final project steering committee meeting. The final report on RESCCUE in French Polynesia summarises all the project activities and outcomes at the Moorea and Gambier Islands pilot sites. All the project reports are available here. As with all the other pilot sites, RESCCUE in French Polynesia developed its activities in an integrated management and climate change resilience perspective. In line with its overall rationale, the project endeavoured to reduce non-climate stressors on ecosystems so as to increase ecosystem resilience and, in that way, the resilience of the communities that depend on them. The activities were based around several complementary areas. ©CPS SUPPORT TO INTEGRATED COASTAL MANAGEMENT (ICM) IN ‘OPUNOHU AND MANGAREVA On Moorea, in collaboration with the INTEGRE project, RESCCUE first carried out an in-depth assessment with residents at the ‘Opunohu pilot site in order to understand and give due weight to the site’s historical, social and cultural background. Using a participatory approach, the project helped identify actions and propose a new governance method for sustainable local development of the site. A number of priority activities were also carried out and then evaluated. Participatory workshops on integrated coastal management in ‘Opunohu ©Mahé Charles/AFB In the Gambier Islands, the work carried out with all the stakeholders via a participatory approach made it possible to jointly develop a document entitled Nukutaireva (“Land, Sea, Sky” in Mangarevian).

The study was recommended by the South Pacific Conference on National Parks and Reserves (Wellington, New Zealand, February 1975) which called for a survey of existing and potential protected areas in the South Pacific.

Seabirds of the Gambier Archipelago, French Polynesia in 2010. Marine Ornithology 41: 7–12. We visited the Gambier Archipelago in April 2010, and noted the presence of 15 species of seabirds. An additional species was noted in 2008 and 2011 during a visit by members of our team. The species and breeding populations are significant for the French Polynesian region, including nesting Polynesian Storm-Petrel Nesofregetta fuliginosa, listed as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We noted nesting by 11 species, including confirmation of the presence of breeding Red-footed Booby Sula sula, previously noted in 2008. The islands in the south of the archipelago were the main focus for our study, as they had been proposed as sites for island restoration through removal of introduced mammal species. These were Manui, Kamaka, Makaroa and the tiny islet of Motu Teiku. These sites held the richest and most numerous populations of seabirds in the archipelago, and, as they are very near to one another and relatively inaccessible due to difficult landing conditions, they presented the best opportunities to safeguard the important large seabird populations of the south of the French Polynesian Region.

Arctic-breeding Shorebirds in French Polynesia 2 Executive Summary In March 2003, biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Survey joined an international expedition headed by biologists from La Société d’Ornithologie de Polynésie and Wildland Consultants of New Zealand and traveled to remote atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia. The objectives of this collaborative venture were to (1) determine the presence and approximate numbers of resident and migratory birds and mammalian pests on several, mostly uninhabited, atolls in the central and southern Tuamotu Archipelago, (2) search for color-marked Bristle- thighed Curlews (Numenius tahitiensis), and where possible, capture and collect blood samples from individuals of this species, (3) conduct pelagic surveys for seabirds, and (4) promote cooperative bird research in the Central Pacific.
