An environmental information system thats being set up across the Pacific region has made it through to the last round of the international competition, the Stockholm Challenge.
The project, the Pacific Islands Environment Network, beat off almost nine hundred competitors from 107 countries to become one of the final nine finalists.
The project, which is funded by the European Union and managed by the South Pacific Environment Programme in Samoa, is designed to increase the flow of national and regional information to the broadest numbers of Pacific Island communities.
Members of the network gain access to more than 20 thousand volumes available on line.
