Micronesia Challenge Guam Repository
The aim of this repository is to gather all documentation produced on conservation issues on Guam.
Having all reports and documentation uploaded in one place will make research on conservation issues easier and more accessible to the community.
This repository is organized in 4 categories:
– Life on Land Resources
– Life Below Water Resources
– Climate Action Resources
– Cross Cutting Resources
Please click on the category that you are interested in and choose the subtopic that you are searching information on. Click on the document you would like to read to access it. When the date of publication is known, documents are organized by chronological order.
If you would like to add a resource to this list please contact the Micronesia Challenge Guam Coordinator at: micronesiachallenge.guam@gmail.com
