In 2009, Biosphere Foundation (BF) initiated three marine conservation projects in Indonesia, a country with more than 17,000 islands and uncharted marine biodiversity.
The first is a long-term program to protect endangered sea turtles in the Anambas Islands. The second is a project located within the Bali Barat National Park to monitor and encourage a long-term conservation program at Menjangan Island’s coral reef. The third, is a program onboard Mir, a sailing vessel that will be based in Southeast Asia.
Mir is BF’s headquarters and will be used in support of these projects as well as
Studio of the Sea and the
Planetary Coral Reef Foundation.
Biosphere Foundation is collaborating with individuals and institutions in both Singapore and Indonesia to further these conservation projects under the names of
Biosphere Society Singapore and
Yayasan Biosfir Indonesia.
