Raja Ampat, recognized as one of the most beautiful places in the world, is a top destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Known as the ‘Four Kings,’ this Indonesian archipelago boasts breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled marine biodiversity, making it a haven for scuba divers, snorkelers, underwater photographers, hikers, birdwatchers, and kayakers.

The rapid growth of tourism in Raja Ampat has created new economic opportunities, but its long-term impact on the environment remains uncertain. To protect this natural treasure, a cutting-edge Field Research Station is essential. This initiative aims to catalog Raja Ampat’s rich biodiversity, study the resilience of its coral reefs, reintroduce extirpated species, and promote conservation, education, and sustainable tourism.
