To reiterate it
is important to protect our biodiversity for our long-term benefit
and that of our environment. But it is not enough to put in legislation
for such protection of the environment if people, who are the
key to conservation successes, do not understand, accept, and
participate in conservation activities. It is therefore important
to create mechanisms that will focus on people, what conservation
means to them, and ways to involve them in conservation...it is
also important to work closely with the communities for the sake
of working together to protect the Areas of Biological Significance
(ABS) that have been identified within Chuuk.
