Halt the Extinction of Threatened and Endemic Species, Safeguard Genetic Diversity, and Promote Human–Wildlife Coexistence
By 2030, develop and implement management and recovery plans for threatened species that currently lack such plans, and review, update and effectively implement all existing species management plans. Priority species and groups include: Dolphins Dugongs Marine turtles Sharks and rays Threatened species recorded for Solomon Islands on the IUCN Red List Tubi tree Kauri Rosewood Prehensile-tailed skink ( Corucia zebrata ) Santa Cruz ground dove Hornbills Birdwing butterflies Tuna species Other threatened species identified under fisheries, forestry, environment and other relevant sectoral legislation, policies and plans Solomon Islands will continue to fulfil its commitments under relevant subregional, regional and international treaties, strategies and action plans for the conservation and sustainable management of threatened species. This will include strengthening the sustainable management of tuna fisheries, reducing bycatch and other adverse impacts on non-target species, and promoting appropriate incentives and investments that increase the economic and social benefits Solomon Islands receives from its tuna resources. Urgent measures will be taken to reduce the human-induced extinction risk of known threatened wildlife, including turtles, dugongs, dolphins, sharks and rays, as well as threatened domesticated species and their wild relatives, native wild and cultivated plants, and other species of ecological, socioeconomic and cultural importance. Conservation and recovery measures will include protecting and restoring critical habitats; reducing overharvesting, illegal take and trade; maintaining genetic diversity; supporting research, monitoring and species recovery programmes; and strengthening both in situ and ex situ conservation. Any use of wild species will be managed sustainably to secure long-term ecological, cultural and economic benefits for the people of Solomon Islands. Solomon Islands will also strengthen community-based and culturally appropriate measures for managing human–wildlife interactions, minimising conflict and promoting the safe coexistence of people and wildlife.
