Along the coastal waters, land and sea intertwine in the tangle of twisted mangrove forest that encircles the islands of Micronesia. These rich resources have sustained Pohnpeians for centuries. Nourished by extraordinary amounts of rain, this rugged place teems with birds, butterflies, lizards and hundreds of native plants found nowhere else. © Ami Vitale

Hand-in-hand with local communities, we’re not just protecting rainforests, savannas, coral reefs and people’s livelihoods — we’re protecting the world’s future. Play a role in the Conservancy’s long-term success in Asia and the Pacific – support our global conservation work!
