Lessons from the Micronesia Challenge 2030: Using a science-to-management approach for effective protected areas April 2024
The Micronesia Challenge 2030 is a multi-jurisdictional commitment towards effective management of marine and terrestrial resources throughout Micronesia. A key challenge for the commitment has been meeting the ongoing need for up-to-date protected area (PA) data at the appropriate scale and level of detail, as existing mechanisms limit data availability for local PA management and multi-scale decision-making. In order to address this need, the Micronesia PA registry is being established. Taking a science-to-management approach which is data-driven and emphasizes usability, the project has already seen significant wins in providing reliable, updated access to key PA information, improving conservation efforts and the ability for partners across Micronesia to meet the goals of Micronesia Challenge 2030.
