This dataset contains mapped point locations for protected areas within Vanuatu. This dataset should be viewed in combination with the World Database on Protected Areas polygon locations to get a comprehensive view of all protected areas within Vanuatu.

he total economic value of the effects caused by Tropical Cyclone Pam was estimated to be approximately VT 48.6 billion (US$449.4 million). Of this, VT 29.3 billion (US$270.9 million) is attributable to damage, and VT 19.3 billion (US$178.5 million) is attributable to loss. This is equivalent to 64.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Vanuatu, giving an indication of the scale of impact. Because of data limitations, however, it is likely that these figures underestimate the total impact.

This table provides a summary of the estimated costs for recovery and reconstruction. Total recovery and reconstruction is estimated at VT 34.1 billion (US$316 million). Of this amount VT 10.3 billion (US$95 million) is focused over the short-term (12 months to four years).

For the purpose of this PDNA, the agricultural sector is defined to include the crops, livestock, fishery, and forestry subsectors
Commerce and industry comprises close to 40% of GDP and is therefore a key sector for Vanuatu. Tropical Cyclone Pam damaged the sector’s buildings and inputs for production, and it continued to affect the sector through increased costs of inputs and reduced activity in the economy. It is important to note that the figures reported are likely to be underestimated due to the amount of data available for inclusion within this PDNA, which was prepared in a short time frame.

Most atoll ecosystems and a wide range of terrestrial and marine organisms, and genetic or cultivars varieties of
traditional food and other multi-purpose plants are declining in abundance and under threat of either “economic extinction” or extirpation and in need of some form of protection. The severity of the situation is greatest on those more urbanized atolls where both the biodiversity and the local knowledge of biodiversity are threatened.
