Welcome to the 2nd conference of SERAIt gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to New Caledonia and the Second SERA International Conference on Ecological Restoration.
Since our first conference in Perth, SERA has continued to grow from strength to strength with membership, activities and prominence in the Australasia restoration community.
SERA members and particularly your hard-working Board members represent the best in leading restoration practice in industry, government and the private sector at a time when restoration is now an integral and vital part in the management of landscapes, ecosystems and species.
This is timely as never before in human history have the demands for repatriation of damaged ecosystems been so great.
With a number of countries in SERA also recognised as global biodiversity hotspots, the complexities and demands of sound ecological restoration practice are indeed great, if not daunting. And this is why the SERA conference is such a valuable forum - like minds meeting in a spirit of restoration excellence to provide the leadership and stewardships of our landscapes that is so critical if we are to arrest the decline in the natural biota of the planet.
This conference, only our second, promises to deliver on SERA's core values of improving our restoration capacity in the region. Being held in New Caledonia is a reminder of the great needs and demands for restoration expertise based on sound science linked to cost effective practice.
Enjoy, learn and have fun at this meeting and take with you the collective spirit of SERA for making real change in a changing world.
Kingsley DixonChair, SERA Board
Welcome to New Caledonia for this Second SERA International Conference on Ecological Restoration!
It is with honour and great pleasure that we welcome this second SERA Conference, following the success of the first one in 2012 in Perth, Western Australia.
With over 150 participants and nearly one hundred communications, the Australasia restoration community is the demonstration of the importance attached by scientists, land managers and practitioners in biodiversity conservation and restoration. This is a great opportunity to share all together, in a spirit of restoration excellence for continuous improvement in the protection of our environment.
New Caledonia is a great place for expressing the values of the conference: biodiversity hotspot, facing strong pressures (mining, fires, invasive species...), with a strong societal demand for ecosystem conservation and restoration, a continuous improvement in environmental regulations, and numerous research studies in a variety of areas that contribute to significant improvements in awareness and practice of ecological restoration. This gives you the opportunity to discover through the different fieldtrips and the communications the wealth of New Caledonia, the successes, failures and constraints of ecological restoration, so that we can together improve our restoration capacity.
Thank you all for your participation and take great pleasure in New Caledonia.

2nd conference of SERA, November 17th - 21st 2014 in Noumea4
About SER and SERA The “Society for Ecological Restoration” (SER) is an international organization with non lucrative aims which gathers a set of collaborators and organizations tests engaged in the rehabilitation of the ecosystems degraded by the human activities.The main aim of the SER is to improve the scientific knowledge, to innovate in the field of ecological engineering and to promote local practices making it possible, in the long term, to restore the features of the biodiversity and the ecosystems, and thus answer to urgent environmental challenges such as the safeguarding of the natural resources, the retreat of the desertification, the erosion of the biodiversity. The SER was founded in 1987 and currently gathers 2400 members from 70 countries (enquiring, farmers, landscape designers, people autochtones, managers of the resources and natural spaces,...). Several regional networks were set up.www.ser.org/about
The "Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia" (SERA) was founded in 2011 and currently counts 135 members from 17 countries located in Pacifique Sud (Island states of the peaceful south, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea).
Since its creation, SERA proposes a series of conferences every two years, in order to offer to its members one moment of scientific exchanges and technological profitable. The previous edition gathered 330 scientists coming primarily from Australia, New Zealand and the islands of Pacifique Sud (5 from New Caledonia); it was in November 2011 in Perth in Australia.www.seraustralasia.com/pages/aboutsera.html

2nd conference of SERA, November 17th - 21st 2014 in Noumea6
Southern Province, Noumea and Isle of PinesThe Southern Province boasts a rich cultural atmos-phere. Discover the capital city Noumea like popular Port Moselle Markets, Latin Quarter or the beaches area of Anse Vata and Baie des Citrons. Dive in the turquoise lagoon the amazing lagoon with a large variety of fishes (UNESCO world’s heritage), visit the bushwalkers para-dise of Blue River Provincial Park. In the south you'll find the Jewel of the Pacific - the Isle of Pines.
Northern ProvinceNotice the remoteness of the region and the strong pre-sence of the Kanak people. Take in a tribe visit followed
by a traditional Bougna lunch. Discover Tropical forests in Hienghene region in the north-East coast and specta-cular Linderalique's jagged black limestone cliffs. Catch the car ferry across the picturesque Ouaieme River.
The Loyalty IslandsA hundred kilometres to the north East of La Grande Terre lay the islands of Mare, Ouvéa, Lifou and Tiga, home to 18 000 people of mainly Melanesian origin. Ouvéa is regarded as one of the South Pacific's most beautiful atolls, while Lifou is home to ancient coral cliffs. Maré has a wild beauty, with its deeply carved cliffs, basalt rocks and dark forests.
About New CaledoniaA french archipelago in the South PacificCaptain James Cook discovered New Caledonia in 1774. The native people are the Kanaks and the country was claimed as a french territory in 1853. New Caledonia today is a multicultural, multi-coloured population, a blend of Kanak traditions and French flair. There is packed full of things to see and do, from land, sea and air based activities to local tours where you can experience.

A hotspot of biodiversityNew Caledonia is a hotspot of an exceptional biodiversity. New Caledonia is one of the world's smallest hotspots (19,000 km2 of lands and 1,500,000 km2 of marine area), yet it is very diverse and, like the other remnants of the ancient super-continent Gondwanaland supports high levels of endemism. This rich biodiversity and high endemism are due to its long-isolated evolution, as well as the variety of precipitation levels and very particular ultrabasic soils that cover more than one third of the country.
It contains some 3371 native species of vascular plants, of which 74% are considered endemic. It includes 108 endemic genera, and five endemic plant families.
A rich endemic flora Gymnosperms are well represented for a sub-tropical region with 44 species of gymnosperms, of which all but one species are endemic with the the world's only parasitic conifer, Parasitaxus ustus. The genus Araucaria, an ancient group of Gondwanaland gymnosperms is constituted by 13 endemic species for 19 worldwide. Furthermore, New Caledonia is home to the endemic, monotypic family Amborellaceae, which comprises a single species, Amborella trichopoda, recently shown to represent the basal-most branch in the evolutionary tree of the flowering plants. Also, New Caledonia's ecosystems include several natural vegetation types such as evergreen rainforests, dryforets, maquis, savanna, mangrove swamp.
A typical faunaPlants are not the only richness of the terrestrial ecosystems. More than 100 birds are found in New Caledonia, 20% of
which are endemic. There are three endemic genera. One of the most famous bird is the Kagu or Cagou (Rhynochetos jubatus). All of New Caledonia's nine land mammal species are bats: five Microchiropters and four Megachiropters or flying foxes.
There is an extremely high level of reptile endemism in this hotspot. More than 60 of about 70 terrestrial reptiles are endemic, as are 11 of 23 genera.
Nearly all of these species are lizards in two families of geckos and one family of skinks. The best known among these are the giant geckos of the endemic genus Rhacodactylus. Rhacodactylus leachianus is the largest gecko in the world.
Among invertebrates, the hotspot supports a rich endemic diversity of land snails, although only 200 species have been described out of an estimated 400 to 600 species. The largest of these snails, Placostylus fibratus, can grow to more than 15 centimeter long and weigh up to 100 grams. The hotspot has an estimated 37 species of macro-crustaceans, of which 40 percent are endemic. About 4,000 insect species have been catalogued to date, showing high endemism at the species and genus levels. The total insect fauna in the hotspot is projected to be between 8,000 and 20,000 species, including more than 70 native species of butterfly, more than 300 species of moth, and 16 tiger beetles. Nearly 200 spiders have been recognized thus far, including the only family of spiders endemic to a single island, the Bradystichidae.
The inscription of New Caledonia's lagoons into UNESCO's world heritage list in 2008 provides international recognition of their natural wealth. The tropical lagoons and coral reefs of New Caledonia are an outstanding example of high diversity coral reef ecosystems and form one of the three most extensive reef systems in the world. They are the location for the world's most diverse concentration of reef structures, with an exceptional diversity of coral and fish species and a continuum of habitats from mangroves to seagrasses and a wide range of reef forms, extending over important oceanic gradients. They still display intact ecosystems, with healthy populations of top predators, and a large number and diversity of large fish. They are of exceptional natural beauty, and contain diverse reefs of varying age from living reefs through to ancient fossil reefs, providing an important source of information on the natural history of Oceania.

One day field trips - Thursday 20th November
The conference program includes a one-day mid-confe-rence excursion. Discover one of the examples of eco-logical restoration projects in Grande Terre, the main island of New Caledonia.Sunscreen (30+), hats and enclosed flat shoes (sports shoes or similar), are required for all field trips.
Field trip 1: Ultramafic maquis of the Sou-thern region - 1h30m from NoumeaPartner: Vale NCDeparture at 06:30. The plain of lakes is located in the southern part of the Grand Massif du Sud at an elevation of 250m above sea level, between the Yaté Lake and the Goro Plateau. The tour features specta-cular views of southern mountains ranges and its lake systems along with forestry plantations of Agathis and Araucaria. Visits in the morning will include the Arau-caria arboretum (at Riviere Bleue Reserve) - optional, Madeleine falls nature Reserve, home to New Caledo-nias world-renowned riparian gymnosperms (Dacry-dium guillauminii, Neocallitropsis pancheri, Retrophyl-lum minor) and Vale New Caledonias native species nursery. Lunch at the nursery will be followed by a visit to Vale New Caledonia revegetation sites on the Goro plateau situated at 300m above sea level. Mendatory: pants, long sleeve shirt and closed shoes (hiking shoes).
field trip 2: Koniambonickel Mine in the western north coast - 3h from NoumeaPartner: KNSDeparture at 06:30. The visit on the Koniambo mas-sif will illustrate ecological restoration activities on a young open pit mine of 1500 hectares operated by Koniambonickel (Glencore - XSTRATA / SMSP). Rehabi-litation activities face a challenging environment cha-racterized by a high biodiversity of flora species (>80% endemism and many micro endemism), topography with 15%-20% average slope on pit, and a dense sur-face water network associated with low rainfall climate. The tour will give an overview of our mining operation, as well as our rehabilitation activities from mangrove to the top of the mine where a unique vegetation of shrubland dominated by Araucaria montana species, and relic of humid forest down the valley is established.Mendatory: pants, long sleeve shirt and closed shoes (hiking shoes).
field trip 3: Parc des Grandes fougères in the Central Chain Mountains - 1h30m from Noumea Partner: Parc des Grandes Fougères de la Province SudDeparture at 07:30. Dedicated to the conservation of 4,535 hectares of rainforest, the "Parc Grandes Fougères" straddles the 3 typical villages of Moindou, Farino and Sarraméa. The park aims to offer visitors relaxation and discovery of quality. Included in the terrestrial buffer zone of the West Coast inscribed at the UNESCO World Heritage list, it extends on volcano-sedimentary rocks at altitudes ranging between 400 and 700 meters. In terms of biodiversity, it is estimated that 500 spe-cies of plants, of which 70% are endemic, are found in the Parc des Grandes Fougères such as several species of endemics fern trees and palms. Also, many endemic species of birds are found such as the flightless cagou (Rhynochetos jubatus) and the largest pigeon of the world, the imperial pigeon or notou (Ducula goliath). The park is thus included in a geographic area rated as "Important Bird Area" (IBA) by BirdLife International. It is a place of study for scientists worldwide (botanists, entomologists, ornithologists). Experimental actions against invasive alien species such as the Java deer and feral pigs constitute a part of several management mea-sures undertook in the park.
field trip 4: Mount Aoupinié and Gohapin tribe in the in the Central Chain Mountains - 2h30 from NoumeaPartner: WWFDeparture at 06:30. During this field trip you will dis-cover the Mont Aoupinié's west slope and the actions of ecological restoration led by one of the tribes who live at the foot of the mountain and the WWF. As a large patch of rainforest in the heart of New Caledonia, the Aoupinié is threatened by recurrent bush fires, forest exploitation and impacts of invasive species (deers, fe-ral pigs, …). About ten years ago, the Gohapin tribe and the WWF set a wide programme of reforestation, relied on community nurseries, reduction of bush fire occur-rence, and actions for the ecotourism's development.
2nd conference of SERA, November 17th - 21st 2014 in Noumea22
Grande Terre4 days: 22nd-25th NovemberVisit the North of the main land - New CaledoniaA round trip on Grande-Terre to discover the amazing landscapes of the West and East coasts and the central chain. This 4-day (3 nights out of Noumea) journey will be the opportunity to have a close look at New Cale-donia's main vegetation types (dry and humid forests, maquis minier) and to comprehend the main threats (bush fires, invasive species, mining...) linked to these ecosystems. Along with sightseeing, you will be able to meet local people and specialists and to learn about their will to protect their environment. You will also be pleased to meet New Caledonia's biodiversity hotspot world famous native flora (Amborella) and many more.
