The
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a New York-based international
conservation organization currently working in more than 60 countries
worldwide. WCS has a distinguished history of scientists exploring and
saving wildlife in some of the most remote and wild places remaining on
Earth. The Wildlife Conservation Society Indonesia Program (WCS-IP) was
founded in the early 1990s and has contributed substantially to the
conservation of biodiversity in Indonesia. WCS-IP currently has programs
focusing both on its terrestrial and marine program. In order to
achieve our overall goal of saving wildlife and wild places in
Indonesia, we aim to protect threatened species and their habitat
through working with government agencies, civil society organizations,
private sector and local communities. The WCS Indonesia Marine program
focuses on the establishment and effective management of MPAs and
development of sustainable fisheries, as interlinked strategies to
secure and manage Indonesia’s coastal marine resources. WCS commits to
assisting the Government of Indonesia to meet its national and
international commitments to MPA establishment and management –
including the commitment to achieve 20 million hectares of MPAs by 2020.
MPAs benefit both biodiversity and fisheries management by protecting
habitats and protecting breeding populations of important marine
organisms.
WCS
has started marine work in Indonesia in 2002 and has expertise in
marine and socioeconomic surveying, fisheries science, marine protected
area creation and management, marine and fisheries policy, and law
enforcement. WCS will continue to support the Government of Indonesia
through sustainable fisheries management, decreasing threats to coral
reefs and supporting the designation and management of protected areas.
WCS also support the engagement of coastal communities in respective
sites to actively participating in the fisheries management efforts.
This
project aims at conserving Indonesia’s diverse marine ecosystems and
important fisheries through creation and improvement of marine protected
areas (MPA) and improved management of commercially and ecologically
important fisheries. It will benefit the Ministry of Marine Affairs and
Fisheries, fisheries managers in North Sulawesi provinces, and local
communities who rely on marine resources. It will address threats of
