In conjunction with members of the local community, undertake an in-depth botanical survey of Kosrae's upland forest and map sites that support endemic or endangered plant species as well as locations of invasive plant species. This will result in improved understanding of the functions and benefits of the watershed and provide evidence to support the gazettment of Olum Watershed as a protected area, contributing to the Micronesia Challenge.

Strategic Direction: 2 Strengthen the conservation status and management of 60 key biodiversity areas
