The natural resources of this region are spectacular. Verdant forests provide a haven for colorful native birds, wildlife, and endemic plant species. An offshore reef harbors more than 625 species of coral and over 1,400 species of fish. Students must also have successfully completed one college-level ecology or biology course. No previous language study is required.
Admission is on a rolling basis.
Students should, however, apply as early as possible because the limited number of spaces fills quickly. The actual location of the center is a small village consisting of 50 families named Ulimang. The village is located along the east coast of Ngaraard State on the island of Babeldaob. The students should be prepared to live in rustic and inconvenient housing. Dormitories, with one large room for men and one for women, will serve as the living quarters.
