Regional Experts meet to discuss establishment of Melanesian Biosecurity and Invasive Species Group

The workshop was hosted by the Government of Vanuatu through the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme.

"The purpose of this workshop was to come up with a road map to address invasive species issues in Melanesia, linkages are already strong through MSG agreements and we should address invasive species issues within the framework of these agreements" said Mr Jason Raubani, Director of the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation.
