A guide to help Pacific reporters produce news items on Electronic and Electrical Waste (E-waste) in the Pacific is now available. The E-waste for journalists guide was produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) with the support of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Conservation can best be achieved when conservation values are part of the mainstream of society, when they become part of everyones decisions including government, private enterprise and the community as a whole. This was recognized by the more than 320 participants from Pacific island governments, Pacific and international organizations and community groups when they met in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in July 2002 for the 7th Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas.
