Misool Foundation, based in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, safeguards the most biodiverse reefs on Earth through the empowerment of local communities, providing a structure by which they are able to reclaim their traditional tenureship of reefs.
At the core of their operation is the belief that sustainable tourism and community-based conservation are mutually beneficial. They seek to demonstrate to local hosts, government, and guests that sustainable tourism can provide a better life than logging, mining, or overfishing.
The Misool Foundation team manages a suite of conservation programmes which combine marine governance, waste management, community empowerment and species conservation. They protect biodiverse marine environments while consistently delivering measurable conservation results.
