Promote working with community leaders and traditional landowners in establishing conservation areas on islets, and implement recovery plans for the Ratak imperial pigeon (Ducula oceanica ratakensis) and migratory bristle-thighed curlew (Numiensis tahitiensis). These are two of the most highly threatened species on Marshall Island because of predation by humans and invasive species.

Strategic Direction: 1 Prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas
