Friends, partners, linksBelow 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. In addition, you'll find a number of purely reciprocal, commercial links here. Papua eco accommodationMany resort and lodge owners or 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 ecologically and socially responsible operation in Indonesia. However, our good friends at Misool Eco Resort do take this matter seriously, and their lodging facility may well prove to be the only one in Indonesian New Guinea that is currently worthy of bearing the eco stamp. Misool Eco Resort (MER) is located on
Batbitim Island off southeastern Misool in the fabled Raja Ampat archipelago
off New Guinea's western tip (approximately, this is in the middle of
nowhere!). MER is the beating heart of its very own 425 sq km marine no-take
zone, the first of its kind anywhere in eastern Indonesia. Production housesWe 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. In fact, the seven-month 'Papua Barat' documentary-making project of the gentle Gentil-brothers quite probably stands out as the longest filming project ever to have been executed in the territory. Get the full story on 'Papua Barat' here http://www.exploraction.ch/07 ExplorAction Organizing expeditions
on the five continents in order to produce documentaries that, through
the images, blend adventure, science, and the emotion of discovery. ConservationA motley miscellany of organizations are 'doing conservation' in Papua. Our good friends at Nazaret Papua Foundation (NPF) are neither conservation scientists or ecologists, but fervent supporters of 'Nature and People'. NPF currently focuses on the Raja Ampat archipelago where it undertakes projects that are really needed and make a difference. Locally piloted and measured, NPF ensures that its projects yield results that are both fast and transparent, all with minimal overhead costs. Nazaret Papua Foundation (NPF) is committed
to preserving areas of vital marine and terrestrial biodiversity in the
fabled Raja Ampat archipelago off New Guinea's western tip. Papua hotel accommodationRoyal Mamberamo Hotel 'Your home away
