%X I have to admit that writing this editorial has been especially difficult. There are a number of reasons for the difficulty, but foremost was my feeling that I needed to be positive and uplifting, offering hope for environmental sanity and biodiversity conservation. Unfortunately, I found this very limiting and every effort at writing seemed to sink into another diatribe of ?gloom and doom?. I hope it is just me and not a true reflection of the State of the Environment in the Pacific. After all, there is much to be thankful for.
