Imeong Conservation Area

Imeong Conservation Area is a protected reserve with diverse habitats both on land and in the sea, home to many native plants and animals. The area encompasses multiple zones that support different types of nature and wildlife.

The conservation area was established to protect Palau's natural environments and was later proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This recognition reflects its importance for environmental preservation.

Local residents practice traditional ways of managing the land and sea, blending ancestral knowledge with how they care for nature today. This approach shapes how the area is used and protected now.

Visitors must obtain permits from local authorities and contact certified guides before exploring the area to follow protection rules. It is important to check current access requirements before planning your visit.

The area blends traditional fishing methods with scientific research programs studying species found nowhere else. This mix of ancestral knowledge and modern science makes the place special.
