PEP is an NGO dedicated to finding solutions to the environmental challenges threatening Raja Ampat’s unique ecosystems, biodiversity, and Papuan communities.

Our Vision

A Raja Ampat where a thriving ecotourism-based economy actively contributes to the well-being of communities and the health of ecosystems on land and at sea.

Our Mission

PEP’s primary mission is to improve coordination of Raja Ampat’s ecotourism actors, activities, and infrastructure, generating benefits for the economy, environment, and Papuan communities. To achieve this goal, PEP focuses on the relationship between land and sea, and across economic sectors, to reduce drivers of ecosystem degradation, such as plastic waste and wastewater, which pose major threats to coral reefs, marine animals, and human health.
