3 Scope and launch

4 Commitments and goals The governments of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Territory of Guam committed: to effectively conserve at least 30% of the near-shore marine resources and 20% of the terrestrial resources across Micronesia by 2020

5 Important pre-conditions

6 Financing targets 2005: TNC assisted Palau to identify SF needs for PAN 2006: Phase I: TNC and CI each pledged $3M to seed 2:1 match for initial endowment target of $18M (doesn’t include CNMI & Guam) GEF pledged $6M regional grant : MCT & TNC assisted FSM, RMI, CNMI, Guam to develop jurisdictional SF plans : Phase II: MCT, MCRO, TNC, local consultants assisted in development of Regional Business Plan/ Fundraising Strategy New total endowment target of ~$55M (includes original $18M)

7 Progress in Conservation Measures Identified baseline of existing areas under some form of management Established standardized regional monitoring methods to assess management effectiveness and training local teams in data collection and analysis MC regional database is being piloted- PALARIS is leading this effort

8 Key advantages of Challenge approach Opportunity to go beyond “paper parks”: Ensure long-term sustainability, management effectiveness Add new sites faster Better manage big threats outside protected areas (e.g. fisheries, coastal development, climate change, invasive species…) Opportunity for major commitment of funds / enhanced regional collaboration to maximize resources, providing strong foundation to scale-up and leverage learning (NOAA, DOI, GEF, German BMU, USFS, Packard Foundation, CEPF, TNC, CI, NaturalEquity, AusAID, and others…)

9 Jurisdiction Highlights

10 Focusing on watershed management Laolao Bay project 30 % 0% TIME Goal Current Garapan watershed LaoLao Bay Tachogna Tinian NE Tinian coast CNMI
