Menjangan Island is an uninhabited and sacred island with luxuriant coral reefs, lying just off Bali’s northwest coast. It sits within the Bali Barat National Park. However, these reefs are suffering increasingly from dynamite fishing, poorly managed tourism and climate change.

Biosphere Foundation has committed to a long-term conservation and education program to enhance the conservation of Menjangan Island’s coral reefs. Over time, the aim is to build sufficient capacity for the monitoring and management of this precious natural resource and to prevent the collapse of a spectacular coral reef.









BF is working in collaboration with the following conservation partners to achieve these goals :

· Bali Barat National Park
· Menjangan Resort
· Dustan Lab, College of Charleston
· LIPI, Indonesian Institute of Sciences
· Wildlife Conservation Society
