Saipan, a part of the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, is the location of the Saipan Upland Mitigation Bank. The bank sets a precedent as the first mitigation bank in the region and follows the US mitigation banking system. Established in 1998 to protect the habitat of the Nightingale Reed-Warbler, the bank's surrounding areas are under pressure from homestead development.
