Biosecurity is vital in a region such as the Pacific due to its small, isolated island states. This programme creates a regional biosecurity platform that ensures all member states are compliant with the latest biosecurity laws, in line with international standards. It is tasked to build the capacity of national biosecurity authorities, enabling the implementation of pre-border, border and post-border measures designed to combat transboundary pests and diseases that threaten the Pacific’s flora and fauna and livelihoods.
