The 1st Pacific Islands Bat Forum will be held from the 10 – 14 August 2021 and is a free virtual event that will bring bat conservationists and key stakeholders together from across the Pacific and the wider Oceania region. The forum is an initiative of the Pacific Bat Conservation Network (PacBat), formed in 2020 to engage and catalyse a diverse network of stakeholders throughout the Pacific and wider Oceania region, to aid in the conservation and recovery of Pacific bat species.The aim of the forum is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge between community organisations, researchers, and policymakers and to provide a collaborative environment to allow identification of conservation and research priorities for Oceania bats through a series of dedicated workshops. We are hosting a number of local hubs on several Pacific Islands to increase accessibility. These will be at physical venues where you can come together to join in the meeting virtually as a group. Please indicate when you are registering if you would be interested in attending a local hub if it is in your location. For the Vanuatu Hub please email christina@vanuatuconservation.org to secure your place (by Friday 6th August) refreshments will be provided. Spaces are limited at the hub but there is space for everyone to join virtually. To view a detailed agenda of talks and workshops, and to register for the forum visit www.ausbats.org.au/pacific-bat-forum-2021.htmlForum artwork is by Papua New Guinean Artist Arison Kul ...

On Thursday we co-hosted an event with RecycleCorp Vanuatu to mark the export of the first container of plastics for recycling out of Vanautu. Many people and organisations were involved in the collection, processing and shipping of this milestone container and we would like to thank: World Vision Vanuatu Jason Ernest - ANZ Vanuatu for the bottle collection at the Selem Plastik Mo Sevem Solwota initiative with funding from DFAT of Australia, the IUCN Plastic Waste-free Islands Project and Searious Business and their development partner Norad (Norwegian Aid Agency) for assisting with finding a market and making the arrangements for exporting of the plastics, Ifira Stevedoring Wharf for transporting and loading the container at no cost and Swire Shipping and Tropical Agency Ltd for covering the cost of shipping the container under the Moana Taka initiative, and to Vanuatu Beverage Limited for contributing bottles and caps so this pilot would work. We would also like to thank the VESS, RecycleCorp and World Vision staff who have spent many hours sorting and counting many, many, many bottles so we could make this initiative happen and gather information that will be useful for the future of plastic recycling. What a fantastic collaboration and a great outcome for the environment in Vanuatu. Read more about the event here: recyclevanuatu.com/2021/07/18/first-export-of-plastics-for-recycling-in-vanuatu ...
