Pitcairn Islands Environmental Management Plan

Client: UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office

Pitcairn Island, a member of the Pitcairn Group, is located in the South Pacific Ocean. The island is remote, with a small population and a relatively underdeveloped infrastructure. The flora of Pitcairn is unique, with a number of endemic and endangered species. Challenges exist for nature conservation on the island, including invasive non-native species, soil erosion and infrastructural development issues. Careful environmental management is needed to ensure sustainable development.

The Pitcairn Islands Environmental Management Plan enables sustainable development to proceed alongside environmental protection and conservation of local natural resources. A framework is provided by which all activities that impinge on the environment can be regulated to the benefit of the people of Pitcairn Island and HM Government.
