The inclusion of protected areas in ecologically representative and well-connected networks, beyond the imperative of effective and equitable individual management, is essential to achieving their conservation objectives.
In the Southern Province of New Caledonia, RESCCUE has developed a green and blue corridors framework to characterize and map ecological connectivity and continuity, and then developed a strategy allowing the province to set up a more ecologically efficient protected areas network by 2025 for the Great South and the Côte Oubliée.
