	MBG New Caledonia: Conservation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		When New Caledonia is viewed in a global context, and compared with most tropical areas, which are facing far more acute threats from a combination of rapid population growth, extreme poverty, and dysfunctional or non-existent government institutions, the territory’s native flora is relatively well off.
		New Caledonia’s comparative wealth of the territory (per capita income is similar to that in Australia and New Zealand), coupled with its current political and economic stability, preclude many of the devastating activities that result each year in the degradation and loss of millions of hectares of native vegetation elsewhere in the tropics.
		New Caledonia is not a resource-rich territory (despite the presence of huge deposits of nickel ore and other valuable minerals), and its current prosperity is vulnerable.
