FSM has a long history of disturbance from human settlement and use, which influenced the forest structure and species composition over time. This is usually marked by conversion of native forest to agroforestry. In 2016 the percentage of forest area showing signs of disturbance from human activities and climate events was 45%.

Each state of the FSM has its own outstanding features and biodiversity treasures. This dataset contains a report for the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan project, highlighting the status of FSM's biodiversity, outstanding features of each state as well as recommendations.
The report is structured in three parts. Part I provides an update to the status of biodiversity in the FSM, including emerging trends affecting biodiversity and the implications of these trends and changes on human well-being.
The report focuses on the impact of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan on national development prerogatives, particularly in relation to the minimization and/or reversal of the rate of biodiversity loss, which is the primary goal of the Convention on Biological Diversity; otherwise known as the 2010 Target.
The report was prepared under a grant provided by the United Nations Support to GEF Eligible CBD Parties

This review of FSM environmental law is smaller in scope than the NEMS Review; this document can be read as a partial updating of the NEMS Review. The review was arranged and funded by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP).
