Motane Nature Reserve, заповедник в южной группе Маркизских островов (Французская Полинезия

Motane Nature Reserve covers the whole of Moho Tani and Terihi islands plus surrounding rocks in the southern Marquesas. Moho Tani is 12.2 km², 8 km long and 2 km wide, with cliffs along its coast. Forests of Pisonia grandis cover over 75 ha in the centre, and Cordia subcordata stands cover 144 ha.

Motane Nature Reserve was declared in 1992 to protect the whole of Moho Tani and Terihi and their surrounding rocks, as a first step toward safeguarding an ecosystem largely destroyed by over-grazing of feral sheep, pigs and goats. Russian sources give a creation date of 1971 and note that IUCN category IV status was assigned in 2000. Sheep were introduced in the second half of the 19th century, and damage to the vegetation was already recorded by the 1920s.

The reserve covers all of Moho Tani and Terihi plus the surrounding rocks, with no airstrip; Moho Tani lies 15 km south of Hiva Oa, 23 km west of Tahuata and 48 km northwest of Fatu Hiva. Terihi sits 200 m northeast of Moho Tani and rises to 150 m, and both coasts are rocky with high cliffs, so landing is difficult. Feral sheep, pigs and goats graze the island, so expect eroded ground and damaged vegetation.
