West Papua Communities Celebrate Coral Conservation Zone
Yellu island is a tiny dot on the map between West Papua and the Molucca Islands in Indonesia. It's one of four islands in a group called Raja Ampat, or "Four Kings" that support communities whose livelihoods come almost exclusively from the sea. But beneath the water's surface, exists another community, regarded as one of the richest reef ecosystems on Earth. More than 1400 species of fish and 75 percent of all known coral species live here.
