Friends, partners, links

Below you will 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 will find a number of purely reciprocal, commercial links here.

Papua accommodations

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 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. 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

Wildlife art

Carel Pieter Brest van Kempen has brought a singular vitality to wildlife art. Uncompromisingly detailed and artfully composed, his work is at once vivid and startling, depicting seldom-illustrated species engaged in life's struggles — alive. To view Carel's work is to be pulled into the drama and diversity of life.

Jeepney Projects Worldwide (JPW) is a partnering of benefit art projects and regional conservation groups, working to inspire support and restore lost habitat of critically endangered birds. JPW aims to raise awareness and help endangered birds and other creatures around the world through the creation of artwork that celebrates these important wild things. With each project focusing on and advocating for a particular species, JPW hopes to instill a passion in both the local population as well as people around the world to learn more about these unique animals, and find ways to help reverse course on their impending demise. Artist and birding enthusiast, David Tomb, is at the forefront of this endeavor.
