Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofNew Caledonia New Caledonia is divided into three provinces: Each of these provinces has its own flag and emblem and has considerable powers, including all powers that are not explicitly the prerogative of either the Territorial Congress in Nouméa or the French Republic in Paris. The provinces are further subdivided into communes (municipalities) which in fact in most cases predate the establishment of the provinces, whose borders and powers were outlined in 1988 (see Matignon Accords). One commune, Poya, was then divided between the two mainland provinces. This state of affairs continues to this day. The provincial seat of the North Province is at Koné (although physically located closer to the town of Pouembout). The South Province has its provincial seat at Nouméa, although La Foa also serves as the seat of some administrations (see Administrative subdivisions section below).

Excerpt: The Biodiversity of New Caledonia is considered to be one of the most important in the world. New Caledonia, a large south Pacific island group about 1,200 km east of Australia, supports high levels of endemism, with many unique plants, insects, reptiles and birds. This biodiversity is threatened by introduced species, logging, fire, agriculture and urban development, and mining (nickel and other valuable minerals). The island has lost several species since the arrival of man, but none are thought to have become extinct since 1500. New Caledonia sits on the southernmost edge of the tropical zone. Its main island, Grande Terre, hosts a variety of habitats arising from several factors, including precipitation, geology, soils and altitude. The island has been categorised as having two main ecoregions, the majority of the island being New Caledonia rain forests while the New Caledonia dry forests runs along the west coast, although here the original forest has mostly been cleared with only fragments remaining. Unlike many of the islands of the South Pacific, New Caledonia is not of volcanic origin, but is instead a fragment of the ancient continent of Gondwana. It separated from Australia and New Zealand during the break up of the super-continent, from Australia at the end of the Cretaceous (65 MYA) and from New Zealand in the mid-Miocene. This has led to a long period of evolution in near complete isolation. New Caledonias natural heritage significantly comprises species whose ancestors were ancient and primitive...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1195166 ... Read more

New Caledonia continued over the next few years to be administered by the HBC, whose regional chief executive, James Douglas, also happened to be governor of Vancouver Island. ... Read more
