Palau is a small isolated island country on the westernmost edge of Micronesia in the Pacific with a population of 17,661 (according to the 2015 population census) and a total area of 456 km2, divided into 16 states. Figure 7.1 shows the location of Palau and the stretch of the islands. Palau’s climate is temperate and rainy throughout the year, with an average air temperature slightly higher than 28 °C and annual rainfall of 3800 mm, contributing to high marine and terrestrial biodiversity. Palau has over 1389 plants, including 802 native plants and at least 150 endemic plants (Kitalong 2008), as well as 130 fungi, an estimated 5000 insects, 92 snails, 46 reptiles and amphibians, 47 freshwater fish, and 141 birds (Kitalong et al. 2008).
