A little over a decade ago, an underwater paradise in eastern Indonesia was being decimated by unregulated commercial fishing, poaching and damaging practices like dynamite fishing. On June 20, we’ll take you to the waters of the Bird’s Head Peninsula to experience the incredible story of how the local community, @Conservation International and its partners saved the epicenter of marine biodiversity. Take a 360-degree sneak peek at one of the first underwater coral reef virtual reality experiences, “Valen’s Reef.” Conservation International is grateful to work in close partnership with the people of West Papua, the government of Indonesia, The Nature Conservancy, WWF and more than thirty other partners. Special thanks to The Walton Family Foundation for its long-standing support of the Bird's Head Seascape Initiative.
