Lessons from the Micronesia Challenge 2030: Reimaanlok, A National Framework for Locally-led Conservation May 2024
The Micronesia Challenge is a multi-jurisdictional commitment towards effective management of marine and terrestrial resources throughout Micronesia. Addressing regional conservation ambitions while achieving national and global targets and adhering to local values, is a formidable challenge. In the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the solution has been Reimaanlok, a national framework co-developed by government and traditional community leaders, with the explicit purpose of conservation area planning that is “fully owned, led and endorsed by local communities.” In use for decades, the Reimaanlok framework is now being updated to align national efforts towards achievement of more comprehensive regional goals through the Micronesia Challenge 2030.
