Adaptation Actions

21 - 40 of 41

428 - Identify and protect all species of heat-sensitive ground nesting birds

429 - Place coconut fronds or other protection over sea turtle nests on the beach to cool them down

430 - Ensure that in times of extreme temperatures, flying foxes are protected if they attempt to find food near villages in gardens

431 - Control and minimize the conversion of high montane forests through proper Land Use planning and Sustainable Ag Methods-

432 - Vanuatu's international CC negotiators must be aware of and highlight to others the potential to lose very critical ecosystems and species

433 - Restrict fishing activities on coral reefs that are already stressed from bleaching

438 - Develop planting guidelines for each species to ensure planting in appropriate locations

439 - Identify and relocate important species to cooler locations.

440 - Plant new trees inside existing forests to exploit cooler temperatures

441 - Intercrop high canopy species in mixed planting with lower canopy species

442 - Encourage shading of germinants by mother trees

443 - Utilize shade cloths/nurseries to protect vulnerable seedlings and juvenile trees from excessive heat

444 - Investigate and promote Temperature tolerant tree species

472 - Plant coastal, native, endemic and site adapted species on beaches and vulnerable coasts trees to control erosion

473 - Plant/protect wetland species including mangroves to reduce erosion

473 (a) - Erosion of coastal forest areas

474 - Encourage and assist communities to establish forested buffer zones between the coast and the village

475 - Research the potential for desalination and irrigation of coastal woodlots/plantations

476 - Relocate species of importance to higher grounds to avoid loss through sea water inundation

477 - Adopt coastal management or land use plans
