West Papua

West Papua is a place where rainforest still blankets mountains, rivers are moving through deep valleys, and offshore reefs remain largely untouched. Its coasts are alive with turtles, reef sharks, and manta rays, while the interior harbors wildlife found nowhere else, alongside the spectacular birds of paradise whose courtship dances light up the canopy. Indigenous Papuan cultures with traditions stretching back tens of thousands of years, still interwoven with the forest and sea.
