Wakatobi National Park

Wakatobi ranks as one of the highest priorities for marine conservation in Indonesia because of the diversity of species, reef condition, and the opportunity to protect such a large network of Marine Protected Areas. Like many of Indonesia’s marine environments, Wakatobi National Park’s diverse coral habitats are threatened by overfishing and destructive fishing practices.

What the Conservancy Is Doing
We are working to build resilient networks of Marine Protected Areas that are linked by ocean currents and designed to preserve the area’s most important biodiversity by:

  • Conducting scientific surveys of the park’s natural resources
  • Raising awareness of the importance of marine protected areas for sustainable development and biodiversity protection
  • Building the capacity of park rangers and local non-governmental organizations through training in marine protected area management, monitoring and surveillance, sustainable resource use, and spawning aggregation protection.

Indonesian Kopi Luwak

Coffee is a beverage, served hot or with ice, prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant. These seeds are almost always called the coffee bean. It is one of the most popular beverages in adults today. The coffee bean, itself, contains chemicals which are mind-altering (in a way some find pleasing) to humans as a coincidental result of their defense mechanism; those chemicals are toxic in large doses, or even in their normal amount when consumed by many creatures which may otherwise have threatened the coffee beans in the wild. A coffee bean from two different places usually have distinctive characteristics such as flavor (flavor criteria includes terms such as "citrus-like" or "earthy"), caffeine content, body or mouthfeel, and acidity.
