Micronesia Challenge: Protected Areas Network
Boundaries of all known protected areas within Micronesia as compiled by the Micronesia Challenge, a commitment launched in 2006 by Micronesian governments to strike a critical balance between the need to use their natural resources today and the need to sustain those resources for future generations. Five Micronesian governments--the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the U.S. Territory of Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)--have committed to "effectively conserve at least 30 percent of the near-shore marine resources and 20 percent of the terrestrial resources across Micronesia by 2020." This region-wide initiative evolved from local conservation projects across Micronesia and is now a large-scale partnership between governments, nonprofit and community leaders, and multinational agencies and donors. Partners include NOAA, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Conservation International, and others.
