Notable of this, is the Crested Iguana, found only in some parts of Fiji namely Yadua Taba in Bua and the Yasawas.

Since the inception of Palau to be the 200 member of the Olympic Movement in 1999, Palau has strive for excellence through sport. We have hosted 2 Micronesian Games, 1 Mini Pacific Games and 10 Belau National Games. In addition, have participated and send over 1000 athletes abroad to represent Palau in various regional and internation- al sporting events such as the 2002 Micronesian Games in Pohnpei, FSM, 2003 South Pacific Games in Fiji, 2006 Micronesian Games in CNMI, 2007 Pacific Games in Samoa, 2011 Pacific Games in New Caledonia, 2014 Microne- sian Games, and just recently the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby, PNG. Palau has participated in all the Summer Olympic Games since 2000. Palau National Olympic Committee and the respective National Sports Federations would not have been able to achieve these many milestones without the unwavering support of the Palau National Government and the many sponsors and donors, families, coaches, athletes and key individuals who all have continued their committed full support to the nu- merous programs and development of sports in Palau. The 15th Pacific Games sees Palau’s seventh appearance in a competition encompassing the 24 member countries of the Oceania Region including Australia and New Zealand.
