Ducatez noted that French Polynesia accounts for 8.5% of all global bird extinctions in 500 years, with 15 of 26 remaining endemic birds threatened, yet lacks measurable conservation objectives. He proposed a prioritisation matrix weighing endemism against cultural importance and feasibility, stressing co-construction with communities to avoid 'green colonialism'.
