Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, language: English, abstract: The paper makes a review of the evolution and traditional use of the biological resources in the Pacific islands in order to find common trends and problems, and the way how do major land cover changes driven by anthropic pressure influence the national economies and the environment. An assessment of timber growth performance in a plantation, the status of two threatened groups of key wildlife species, and the traditional use and description of lesser known trees, are discussed. Project summaries for small scale projects that can enhance training capacities on natural resources management and further improve rural livelihoods are also included. Finally there is a call to coordinate more interdisciplinary efforts on this rewarding enterprise, because by solving our own problems nationals can proclaim with confidence their full independence. The Solomon Islands is an independent country in the South Pacific consisting of six major islands, over 900 smaller islands and a population of over 655,000 with diverse ancestry. The islands have been settled for at least 30,000 years, their rainforests were subject to shifting cultivation and then logging since the 1920s.

It was found that although all islands states share a common a
