Leatherback turtle nests
With USAID support, leatherback turtle expert Deasy Lontoh and her conservation team at Tambrauw and University of Papua are leading Indonesia’s leatherback conservation effort.
Tambrauw, West Papua, falls within Indonesia’s Bird’s Head Seascape. To protect this astonishingly diverse repository of tropical marine life, USAID and the Government of Indonesia have teamed up with a wide range of partners (including the Walton Family Foundation, Conservation International, and Yayasan Kehati) to conserve the seascape through the Blue Abadi Fund.
Dengan dukungan USAID, ahli penyu belimbing Deasy Lontoh bersama tim pelestarian di Tambrauw dan Universitas Papua menjadi bagian penting dalam konservasi penyu belimbing di Indonesia.
Tambrauw, Papua Barat, terletak di Bentang Laut Kepala Burung Indonesia. Untuk melindungi kekayaan kehidupan laut tropis ini, USAID dan pemerintah Indonesia bekerja sama dengan berbagai pihak (termasuk Walton Family Foundation, Conservation International, dan Yayasan Kehati) untuk melestarikan kekayaan alam Bentang Laut Kepala Burung melalui Blue Abadi Fund.
