Jamursba Medi beach, a remote beach with no villages or towns and one of the last remaining leatherback nesting sites in the western Pacific, is pegged as a site for the development of the Trans -Papua Highway. The construction of the road will threaten the turtle nesting area as well as important habitats for Papua’s birds of paradise and other protected species.

Greenpeace is working to raise awareness on Indonesia’s rich yet fragile environment, and to support President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s commitment to protect the country’s forests and to restore our living oceans back to health. This work is part of the “Ocean Defender Tour of Southeast Asia,” which travels though three countries. In Indonesia, the tour deals with protection of both forests and oceans, and Greenpeace is promoting a message of protecting biodiversity with the title “100% Indonesia: protecting our Forests and Oceans together.”Related Collections:Ocean Defender Tour in Southeast Asia 2013 (Photos and Videos)
