Coral Triangle

The Coral Triangle is a marine area located in the western Pacific Ocean, covering parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. It's known for its unparalleled biodiversity, housing over 600 species of corals and thousands of marine species, including fish, sea turtles, and sharks. The Coral Triangle is often called the world's "epicenter of marine biodiversity" and plays a crucial role in global ecology and the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on its resources for food and income. Conservation efforts are vital to protect this unique ecosystem from threats like climate change and overfishing.
