Conservation International has recently released a fact sheet on the Papuan Bird’s Head Seascape, which, located in Papua, Indonesia, covers an area of more than 180,000 square kilometers and is thought to have the ”highest coral reef biodiversity recorded for an area of this size anywhere in the world.”
Previously, Wetpixel announced the discovery of dozens of new species in the same area, and this report by Conservation International provides a short summary of current progress and defines clear goals geared towards protecting the marine ecosystem.
Wetpixel moderator Drew Wong (scubadru) has started a topic discussing the report in the Conservation and Environment forum - what are your thoughts on protecting this underwater eden?
