In response, the BirdLife Partnership is taking an integrated approach to managing invasive species, to benefit Island biodiversity, the lives and livelihoods of people and strengthening climate resilience in an equitable and socially inclusive way. Assessing the impact of this work is essential to integrating learning, successes, and the ongoing development, of the Pacific Island Restoration Programme (PIRP).

- Providing technical leadership in developing and implementing plans for IAS eradication, biodiversity restoration, and biosecurity measures while overseeing threatened species recovery.
- Designing and analysing monitoring frameworks to evaluate biological and social outcomes.
- Contributing to conservation strategies such as species translocations and habitat restoration.
