Coral Triangle Initiative

The Coral Triangle Initiative is a cooperative effort involving six countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. Launched in 2009, it aims to protect the Coral Triangle, a rich marine area known for its diverse coral reefs and marine life. By promoting sustainable fishing, protecting habitats, and improving management practices, the initiative seeks to preserve biodiversity, support local communities, and ensure the long-term health of this vital ecosystem. The Coral Triangle is crucial for marine resources, climate regulation, and the livelihoods of millions of people in the region.
