Abstract
Global biodiversity loss is rapid and ongoing. International efforts are redoubling as the international community realizes the importance of biodiversity in maintaining our life support systems. In 2004 Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity committed to have effectively conserved at least 10% of marine and coastal ecological regions globally by 2010. Micronesian leaders responded to this commitment, and have taken this one step further by committing to effectively conserve 30% of nearshore marine and 20% of terrestrial resources by the year 2020. The Marshall Islands, the first Pacific Island country to prepare the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan in 2000, now presents this document outlining our strategy to achieve the ambitious Micronesian Challenge.
