Why the Misool Foundation?
Misool Foundation is an Indonesian non-profit that has been operating for 10 years. From its base in Raja Ampat, Misool Foundation’s mission is to safeguard the future the world’s most biodiverse reefs and the communities that depend on them.
In South Raja Ampat, Misool Foundation manages the 300,000-acre Misool Marine Reserve (the size of all five boroughs of New York City combined!)
This reserve is a safe haven for manta rays, sharks and turtles and is home to over 75% of the world’s known coral species.
The reserve is protected by a 15-person, locally staffed Ranger Patrol. Meet one of those rangers, Ahmad, and find out more about his work in this film from The Economist.

Our Fundraising Mission
The Misool Ranger Patrol is funded entirely by charitable giving and CSR donations. Without the rangers on the water every day, illegal fishing could quickly wipe out over a decade of conservation gains.

It costs $250,000 per year to run the patrol. Join us to support their important mission and fund patrols in 2022.
