Human Resource was slightly better with a reduction of two (2) compared to last years figure of 179.

RES., 23(1): 32-38, 2013 CHANDRA ET AL.: Life history of Papilio schmeltzi NATURAL HISTORY OF FIJI’S ENDEMIC SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY, PAPILIO SCHMELTZI (HERRICH-SCHAEFFER) Visheshni Chandra1, Uma R. Khurma1 and Takashi A. Inoue2 1School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Environment, The University of the South Pacific, Private Bag, Suva, Fiji. Correspondance: [email protected]; 2Japanese National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, Ôwashi 1-2, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8634, Japan Abstract - The wild population of Papilio schmeltzi (Herrich-Schaeffer) in the Fiji Islands is very small. Successful rearing methods should be established prior to any attempts to increase numbers of the natural population. Therefore, we studied the biology of this species. Papilio schmeltzi was reared on Micromelum minutum. Three generations were reared during the period from mid April 2008 to end of November 2008, and hence we estimate that in nature P. schmeltzi may have up to eight generations in a single year. Key words: Papilio schmeltzi, Micromelum minutum, life cycle, larval host plant, developmental duration, morphological characters, captive breeding INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Most of the Asia-Pacific swallowtail butterflies P. schmeltzi was reared in a screened enclosure from mid (Lepidopera: Papilionidae) belonging to the genus Papilio are April 2008 to end of November 2008. The enclosure was widely distributed in the tropics (e.g. Asia, Papua New Guinea, designed to provide conditions as close to its natural habitat as Australia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji and possible and was located in an open area at the University of Samoa).

  • American Samoa CWCS I
    American Samoa CWCS I DEPARTMENT OF MARINE & WILDLIFE RESOURCES American Samoa Government A Message From The Director There is much that we need to learn about wildlife in American Samoa. Yet, our knowledge of fruit bats, land birds, and wildlife habitats has advanced greatly with the help of the Wildlife Restoration program. These grants have supported scientific studies true to the priorities we identified for the Territory’s wildlife. Even today, native wildlife and their habitats remain a prominent feature of the American Samoan landscape. This compares favorably to many other developing countries, and has happened in spite of natural catastrophes and past unregulated exploitation. The recovery of the wildlife fauna from such impacts is evidence of the resiliency of the natural environment and a testament to the effectiveness of the conservation actions effected through the Wildlife Restoration program. We as Samoans are also proud of what this shows about the attitude and cooperation of our people. The broad support of the Samoan people has enabled these programs to succeed, and speaks of the Samoan spirit to cherish that which it has inherited from past generations. We can see, though, the demands that present and future growth in human population and development will place on our natural heritage. This is especially true on small islands such as ours. We face a great challenge to ensure that the native fauna and their habitats are not harmed by poor decisions on land and resource use. A plan to meet this challenge can be seen in the following conservation strategy. It has grown out of our past experiences, and from consultations with the public, other local and federal agencies, as well as legal and scientific experts.

  • Vaa O Fonoti As a Management Plan for the Implementation of the Community Integrated Management Strategy (CIMS)
    Community Integrated Management Plan Va’a o Fonoti District - Upolu Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.
