Develop a model protocol for community capacity building to survey and monitor priority bat species across the Polynesia-Micronesia Hotspot. Lessons from engaging local partners in assessing bats on Samoa and the possible success of survey techniques are expected to leverage further long-term funding to implement future training in survey and monitoring techniques.

Strategic Direction: 3 Build awareness and participation of local leaders and community members in the implementation of protection and recovery plans for threatened species
