Sustainability & conservation

During our time in Raja Ampat, we raise awareness about the importance of sustainability and the preservation of natural ecosystems. Our goal is to promote a responsible stewardship of natural ecosystems and empower young community members to create a sustainable future.

Engaging the youth

To ensure a long-term impact from our projects and to contribute to a better world for future generations, we include an educational aspect to every project. A crucial facet of our presence in the region is the education and outreach programs that we fulfill in multiple villages. In schools, we discuss topics such as coral biology, coral reef ecology, species interactions, sustainable fisheries and plastic pollution. Each topic is taught via lectures, interactive games and team projects, and is accompanied by practical activities, such as snorkelling, creation of a local coral garden or plastic waste cleanups.

Essential school supplies

Many remote communities in Raja Ampat lack the resources to provide enough learning supplies for their children. In communities we visit, we bring basic school supplies for each child participating in our educational activities. These include notebooks, pencils and erasers and equip 30 to 90 children with basic learning tools. Our goal is to visit as many communities as possible and to expand our reach every year. Your contributions can make this possible!
