Since May 2024, New Caledonia has faced civil unrest, economic collapse, food insecurity, and social instability, severely disrupting environmental management in this globally significant biodiversity hotspot. The crisis has exacerbated threats to biodiversity from poaching, illegal fishing, deforestation, urban fires, waste pollution, and pet abandonment, while conservation efforts have ground to a halt. Immediate action is needed to address these threats to nature. Here, we outline the current challenges and propose a strategy for achieving socio-ecological resilience that incorporates traditional knowledge, community led resource management, sustainable economic recovery, and increased funding for conservation. Protecting New Caledonia's species and ecosystems is critical to global biodiversity conservation.
自2024年5月以来，新喀里多尼亚面临内乱、经济崩溃、粮食不安全和社会动荡，严重扰乱了这个具有全球重要意义的生物多样性热点地区的环境管理。这场危机加剧了偷猎、非法捕鱼、森林砍伐、城市火灾、垃圾污染和宠物遗弃对生物多样性的威胁，而保护工作则陷入停滞。需要立即采取行动应对这些对自然的威胁。在此，我们概述了当前的挑战，并提出了一项实现社会生态复原力的战略，该战略纳入了传统知识、社区主导的资源管理、可持续经济复苏以及增加保护资金。保护新喀里多尼亚的物种和生态系统对全球生物多样性保护至关重要。
