They are as follows:
- absence of strong defensive action against plant pests (Miconia primarily) for the infested islands
- unsustainable use of wood for carving (sandal, miro, tou...)
- absence of sustainable management and lack of continuity in forest programmes or nature conservation
- absence of eco-citizenship
- un-controlled grazing
Terrestrial zones having a general conservation statute rarely have a detailed inventory, and there have been a number of projects that have not been implemented.
The problem for these parks is the implementation of an effective management structure.
