Conservation Society

of Pohnpei    

Promoting the protection of Micronesia’s unique Emerald Isle

The Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP), founded in 1998 by a group of concerned citizens is the premier conservation organization in the Federated States of Micronesia.  CSP aims to increase community involvement in the conservation and management of Pohnpei’s natural resources; to build local capacity through public and private partnerships; to develop alternatives to unsustainable practices; and to promote laws and policies that support these objectives.  It presently has three main program areas: marine, terrestrial and education. Although work on environmental policy, organizational development and capacity building, as well as conservation finance are also integral components to its mission.
