Enhancing the biosecurity of Pohnpei’s island ecosystems by putting together efforts to eradicate rats
This paper describes the traditional management system for Pohnpei's forests and presents a case study of the development of a community-based management scheme for the island's remaining forest's resources based on traditional island institutions and practices.
This dataset holds all information related to FSM published on the Food and Agriculture Organization website
Protected Areas (PAs) that are active and proposed on the Pohnpei main island
The FSM SoE Report reveals the current state of knowledge about the environment in FSM along the following thematic areas: atmosphere and climate, water, land, marine, biodiversity, built environment, and culture and heritage.
This is the Pacific Studies Series for CLIMATE PROOFING - A Risk-based Approach to Adaptation Report by Asian Development Bank, published 2005
This is the Vegetation Survey of Yap Main Island from 1986
This dataset contains 2 documents; 1) FSM SWARS 2010-2015+, and 2) FSM FAP 2020-2030. Both documents identify FSM's highest priorities for forest resource management and outlines activities for implementation as established by the National and State governments, resource management entities and other stakeholders. The plan includes a comprehensive analysis of progress to date and a needs assessment for the period of the plan. It was developed by the FSM and state partners with funding from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Services (USFS) for each respective reporting period.

The BIORAP Survey was conducted on Funafuti in 2017. The purpose of the survey is to get a rapid assessment on the biodiversity of Funafuti.
Biodiversity is part and parcel of Tuvalu's development framework. This NBSAP is the first formal consolidated attempt to address biodiversity issues and constraints in Tuvalu in a comprehensive manner.
State of Environment Report 1993 & State of Environment Report 2022
Tuvalu’s State of Environment Report was first developed in 1993 to raise awareness among the people of Tuvalu on all environmental issues and to use the report in decision making. This year (2022), the Department of Environment under the Ministry of PublicWorks, Infrastructure, Environment,Labour, Meteorology and Disaster (MPWIELMD) is pleased to present the 2nd Tuvalu State of Environment Report 2022.
A report that localizes the MDG Framework with the Tuvalu development context.
Rats are invasive species in Tuvalu. Rattus rattus, or black rats, are rampaging through Tuvalu’s atolls and gnawing through the country’s chief export crop – coconuts. This dataset contains a brief introduction into a project that was implemented by a locally-recruited retired rodent management expert who showed coconut farmers how to dispose of the rats in an environmentally-friendly manner.
