Overview

The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Indonesia program aims to conserve marine resources vital to the protection and sustainability of a wide range of human activities and livelihoods. Consequently, conservation efforts cannot be separated from the management of fisheries or of the environment as a whole. Furthermore, given the sensitivity of marine biological resources to climate change and the strong ecosystem linkages across large areas, conservation approaches must focus on improving governance across networks of sites connected within priority ecoregions. At the same time, approaches must be tailored to local ecological, social, and cultural contexts. Establishing effective networks of MPAs, which protect critical marine ecosystems and corridors that fish and other marine species depend on, is critical to marine conservation efforts. WCS employs a rigorous scientific approach to build capacity, strengthen management and inspire community stewardship for the protection and sustainable use of critical marine ecosystems, fisheries and threatened species.
