This is the main report for the FSM integrated agriculture census 2016

This is the Yap watershed project report

A film documentation of an environmental issue Pohnpei main island is facing today, in regards to the dredging activities that are happening in Pohnpei, which needs to be tackled for the care of our livelihood today and of our future generations.

This map shows the locations of dredged sites (active and inactive) around Pohnpei shoreline as of July 6, 2020. Map was developed by MCT and CSP.

This map shows locations of dredged sites around Pohnpei shoreline as of October 15, 2020, by MCT and CSP (Mr. Bejay Obispo). Within 4 months (from July to October), 6 new dredging sites were added from the July 6 dredged map.

To introduce this collection of studies, a logical first question to ask is why produce a “lessons learned” publication?

Avariety of factors can affect the biodiversity of tropicalmammal communities,
but their relative importance and directionality remain uncertain. Previous
global investigations of mammal functional diversity have relied on range
maps instead of observational data to determine community composition. We
test the effects of species pools, habitat heterogeneity, primary productivity
and human disturbance on the functional diversity (dispersion and richness)
of mammal communities using the largest standardized tropical forest camera

With increasing globalization of markets, rising environmental awareness, and attention from international conventions and agreements, the vast majority of countries are looking into managing their forests more sustainably. The main limitation appears to be lack of funding for improving forest management. Traditional sources include the government, targeted investments from the private sector, international donor support, and contributions in kind from rural communities. But these are grossly inadequate, and additional finances are required.
