Glossary (all definitions are taken from www.dictionary.com unless indicated otherwise) CITES Conservation Areas Conservation Deeds Convention on Wetlands DATA DEFICIENT (DD) Directory of Asian Wetlands CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between Governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. www.cites.org Land under community or other ownership that is managed by a community committee for conservation protection. The Prime Minister declares a Conservation Area on recommendation of the Minister for Environment and the landowners. It should have “ particular biological, topographical, geological, historical, scientific or social significance or other special value for the present community or future generations”. Conservation areas are to be managed by a committee including landholder representatives but do not provide exclusive landholder control as in the case with WMAs. The Conservation Area committee prepares a management plan that sets out the restrictions on the use of the rules. [ Conservation Areas Act 1978]. A voluntary agreement between a landowner and an authorised body to help the landowner protect and manage the environment on their land. An intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. http://www.ramsar.org A taxon is Data Deficient when there is inadequate information to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution and/or population status. A taxon in this category may be well studied, and its biology well known, but appropriate data on abundance and/or distribution are lacking. Data Deficient is therefore not a category of threat. Listing of taxa in this category indicates that more information is required and acknowledges the possibility that future research will show that threatened classification is appropriate. It is important to make positive use of whatever data are available. In many cases great care should be exercised in choosing between DD and a threatened status. If the range of a taxon is suspected to be relatively circumscribed, and a considerable period of time has elapsed since the last record of the taxon, threatened status may well be justified. www.redlist.org This Directory aims to provide an essential database as a basis for action. It provides an inventory of wetlands of international importance in the Oceania region, including 25 political entities from Palau, Guam and the Solomon Islands in the west to Easter Island in the east, and from the Marianas and Hawaiian islands in the north to New Caledonia and French Polynesia in the south. http://www.wetlands.org/inventory&/OceaniaDir/Prelims.htm 38
