Below you'll find links to useful external resources on visiting Papua, as well as links to our friends and partners, some of whom we unashamedly recommend and promote because of their genuine, proven commitment to nature conservation and sustainable community development in Indonesian New Guinea.

Papua Eco Resorts

Many resort owners and managers in Papua may well not even be aware of the true meaning and far-stretching implications of the qualifier 'eco'. And with no independent national ecotourism certification scheme in place, just about anyone presently can claim to be running an ecoconscious operation in Indonesia.

Production houses

We feel both proud and priviliged to have been provided with the unique opportunity to assist, and get to know the remarkable people behind Swiss-based production house ExplorAction while filming in the Arfak Mountains in July 2007.

Get the full story on 'Papua Barat' here http://www.exploraction.ch/07
