Wakatobi has earned international recognition for its community-driven conservation efforts, also known as the “Collaborative Reef Conservation Program”. Our privately funded marine preserve protects over 20 kilometers of pristine reef (and growing!) while returning direct benefits to 17 local villages of Southeast Sulawesi. Now, through Reefonomics, we’re scaling this impact by partnering with companies to expand reef protection and create sustainable livelihoods—proving that conservation and prosperity can go hand in hand. Under the guidance of our resident marine biologist, we also monitor reef health using innovative, non-invasive scientific methods.
