trekkers, and bird watchers alike enjoy the
rugged beauty found here rising from the
coastline up to the jungle canopy. From the
Epaulette "walking" shark to the
magnificent Bird of Paradise, Raja Ampat is
center host to a unique marine and wildlife
wilderness. It is due to a unique
combination of factors: a confluence of
currents  attracting a wide range of marine
life which in turn contributes to a wide
range of existing ecosystems, low human
populations, reefs left to grow in stable
surroundings, and extensive conservation
efforts. This all contributes toward the rich
variety of species which are actively
flourishing in Raja Ampat.

Scientists are very interested in the vast
diversity of marine life found here. Raja
Ampat lies in the heart of the Coral
Triangle and is home to the richest tropical
coral reef bio-diversity recorded on Earth.
The archipelago is host to 1125 species
of fish, 700 species of Mollusks, and 543
species of  Hard Corals ( 75% of total
discovered species in the World). Raja
Ampat's near shore habitats include large
reefs, sea grass beds, mangrove forests, and
karst formations. The high level of
bio-diversity within the marine and
terrestrial habitats have attracted wildlife
expeditions dating back to the 17th Century
by the legendary Naturalist Alfred Wallace.
