Pohnpei Mangroves are vital to the communities of Micronesia, and especially Pohnpei. They filter water from sediment and unnecessary nutrients, host nursery habitat for fish, crabs and other marine life, provide livelihoods and protect coastal communities from storms and storms surges. Mangrove ecosystems are vital to the survival of Pohnpeian communities by keeping them resilient and protecting them from the impacts of climate change and global warming such as more frequent droughts, flooding and saltwater inundation into farmlands.

A lot has been achieved in the area of GBV in FSM in recent years, including the passing of Family Protection laws in Kosrae and Pohnpei and a national Ending Voilence Against Women (EVAW) policy that is currently under final review. We recently marked the intensive 18 Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, a global call to action, and a powerful reminder that our work to end GBV is unfinished.
