Raja Ampat is one of the most biodiverse marine regions on the planet, and one that many people want to visit. However, the balance of tourism and sustainability can be a difficult one to manage. As tourism grows, the long-term preservation of Raja Ampat depends heavily on the people of the archipelago who have called these islands home for generations.
At the end of September 2025 Raja Ampat became one of the newly designated UNESCO Biospheres, adding to its Global Geopark status from 2023. There are Biospheres all over the world where not only nature is protected, but also the local communities are assisted in sustainable development.
Raja Ampat is celebrated for its incredible marine biodiversity, but those who look upwards into the jungle canopy will also be rewarded. With over 350 bird species found in the archipelago (and probably many more to be discovered), birders will be absolutely blown away with what they can see. Papua Paradise Eco Resort on Birie
