With the dwindling numbers of natural resources all over the Pacific becoming a major concern to leadersthe Micronesia Challenge Program hopes to achieve what no other program has done before, to effectively conserve 30% of near-shore marine resources and 20% land resources across the Micronesian area by the year 2020. By selecting two avid “champions” in each jurisdiction, the Micronesia Challenge Program has been established in the islands of Palau, FSM, CNMI, RMI, and Guam and they too are participating in the Global Work Party program run by the 350 organization. The program has inspired many others similar to itself all over the world, to help form a better future for generations to come.
