The Bureau of Cultural and Historic Preservation Disaster Risk and Climate Change Survey has assessed fifteen site as part of Phase I of the Project. Sites at the following ten locations are discussed in this comic to illustrate the range of threats facing cultural heritage sites in the Republic of Palau and the project's recommendations for risk reduction based site management.

The primary aim of this document is to provide a synthesis of current biodiversity knowledge to contribute towards the planning and implementation of a nationwide network of marine and terrestrial protected areas for Palau. This report provides a number of scenarios that give an overview of options for areas that could be included in the Protected Areas Network to meet biodiversity conservation goals. It is not intended that the areas presented represent actual areas that should be designated and managed as protected areas but this information can be used in the processes of community consultation and discussion at the State level to help progress the development of the Protected Areas Network.
