The Sixth South Pacific Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas was hosted by the Federated States of Micronesia in the State of Pohnpei from 29 September 3 October 1997. The Sixth Conference was innovative in its participatory design and format with many individuals and agencies contributing significant time and energy to the pre-Conference process to ensure success. The Conference was well led by a trained team of Pacific Facilitators who represented the talent, skills and commitment of Pacific Island nationals in conservation and environment work. The facilitated Working Groups discussing lessons learnt and best practice were suited to a more Pacific-style Conference.
