Palau's War on Poachers

KOROR, PALAU - AUGUST 25: Marine police chase after poachers and pirate ships on the Remeliik in the seas in Koror, Palau on August 25, 2015. The isolated nation of Palau, in the South Pacific, comprises 250 small islands that take up only 177 square miles combined. But international law extends its authority to 200 miles from its coast, giving it control over 230,000 square miles of ocean. For a relatively poor country with no military and a tiny marine police division, and waters teeming with poachers, it’s a tall order. (Photo by Benjamin Lowy/Getty Images)
