The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is an independent nation that is part of the enormous collection of thousands of islands in the western Pacific known as Micronesia. Each state in FSM has a unique language (or languages), and many of the states are composed of many islands. The geology of the islands of FSM is quite different from Belau. For example, some of the islands are high volcanic islands that formed relatively recently.

We have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with community leaders at local NGOs in FSM, including Yap Community Action Program (YapCAP), Yap Forestry, Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP), Kosrae Island Resource Management Authority (KIRMA) and Kosrae Forestry.
