  abstract = {{S}cientists identified the extraordinary terrestrial and marine biodiversity of {N}ew {C}aledonia over 70 years ago. {C}ampaigns to preserve endemic flora and fauna by international {NGO}s have existed since the 1960s, but established interests lying behind the extractive economy on {G}rande {T}erre helped delay effective environmental regu-


lations and actions until the 2000s. {T}he territory still has some of the highest {CO}2 emissions per capita in the world. {M}ulti-layered governance is in place, applied through the {C}onvention on {B}iological {D}iversity (initiated in 1992), the {UNESCO} {W}orld {H}eritage listing for reefs and lagoons (2008) and the {N}atural {P}ark of the {C}oral {S}ea (2014).


{E}cological policies are hampered by the divergence of views on the environment at the provincial and territorial scales and the degree of local participation that is permitted in environmental decision-making. {D}ifferent resources also fall under different management regimes, and some campaigns target environmental issues alongside social


and economic justice issues.},
