Podcast appearances and mentions of raja ampat

In 2017 a cruise ship called the Caledonian Sky was sailing near the Raja Ampat islands in Indonesia when it ran aground in the shallow waters and got stuck. The coral reef was severely damaged. Raja Ampat is one of the world's most popular dive sites and a national park. The accident caused a serious loss of marine diversity and affected the livelihoods of the islanders, who rely on fishing and tourism. After a long investigation, an out of court settlement was reached, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And this money has been used to repair the coral reefs, with the indigenous population playing a crucial role. Normally coral can take years and years to grow back, but this project is already yielding results, after just a few months. We chat to Lesthia Kertopati, a BBC journalist in Jakarta, about this multi-million dollar coral reef restoration project.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producer: Julia Ross-Roy Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editors: Verity Wilde and Harriet Oliver

Jean-Gaël "JG" Collomb says community-based conservation organizations know best how to tackle the complex conservation challenges unique to their ecosystems. However, they're also among the most underserved in terms of funding of all stripes. On this week's episode of Mongabay's podcast, Collomb explains how his nonprofit, Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN), is working to change that. When it comes to funding conservation," it's really difficult to know who to give your money to besides a handful of organizations that a lot of people are familiar with," Collomb says. WCN facilitates partnerships between community-based conservation groups, primarily in Global South nations with funders, in what has previously been described as “‘venture capital for conservation,” or as Collomb says, “people invest in people.” They are “the first actors,” he says. “We're huge fans of being able to encourage people to give unrestricted [funding] … those organizations who are based on the ground in the field know best how to use that money.” Subscribe to or follow the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify, and you can also listen to all episodes here on the Mongabay website.

Dalam urusan melanggar aturan, para pejabat Indonesia mahir bersembunyi di balik asap: berpikir sudah rapi menutupi kejahatan, padahal publik melihatnya secara telanjang. Dalih “hilirisasi” sumber daya alam hanya kedok menyedot aset berharga Indonesia untuk keuntungan elite dan bohir politik. Salah satunya penerbitan izin tambang nikel di Raja Ampat yang menabrak konstitusi. Indonesia sedang menempuh kutukan sumber daya alam: kekayaan melimpah tapi kita tetap miskin karena korupsi dan keserakahan. - - - Kunjungi⁠ s.id/bacatempo untuk mendapatkan diskon berlangganan Tempo Digital.

Why swim when you can just walk from a to b?! This week, we are taking a closer look at the "walking" or epaulette sharks, a group of nine species who have evolved a slightly unusual way of getting around. We're joined by Faqih Akbar Alghozali, co-founder of Elasmobranch Project Indonesia (EPI) and SOSF project leader, who has lots of stories to share from his time in the field with the Kalabia, or Raja Ampat epaulette shark. Faqih and his team are trying to understand more about this poorly studied species, who are endemic to this remote paradise.  Shownotes: www.saveourseas.com/worldofsharks/podcast You can find out more about the EPI here: https://elasmobranch.id or follow them on Instagram (@elasmobranchid).

Alaska, Rumänien & Indonesien – Graz, Grönland und die perfekten Alternativen zu London, Berlin, Rom, Barcelona & Island … Willkommen in den Reise-Trends 2025! Zusammen mit unseren Freunden vom Podcast „Reisen Reisen“ sprechen wir in dieser XXL-Folge rund 90 Minuten lang über unsere Highlights und Geheimtipps für dieses Urlaubsjahr. Eisberge, Wale und Naturgewalten in Grönland, das hippe Bukarest, das mystische Transsilvanien und Manta-Rochen in einem der letzten Paradiese dieser Welt. Eine Liebeserklärung an kleinere Städte, der kulinarische Höhenflug Graz (plus Steiermark!) und ja, wir reisen mit dem Camper durch einen der Sehnsuchtsorte dieses Planeten: Alaska. All das plus die aktuellsten Reise-Trends abseits von Orten, ein Date mit Arnold Schwarzeneggers Motorrad, Urlaub in einem stockfinsteren Raum (!) und wilde Phantasien zu Buffalo Wings in dieser Folge, in der Deutschlands größte Reise-Podcasts zusammenkommen, um euch zu inspirieren. Erik hat in der Folge ein paar Hinweise und Tipps zu Raja Ampat (Indonesien) versprochen – bitteschön:Wir waren auf der Insel Gam Island, es gibt aber ganz viele tolle Inseln und Bungalow-Anlagen sowie von Locals betriebene Homestays, in denen man unterkommen kann – meist einsam an einem Strand, umgeben von nichts als Wasser und Regenwald. Oft sind die Bungalows oder Hütten auch auf Stelzen direkt über dem Wasser errichtet.Schönster Ausblick: Piaynemo Island. Dort auf den Gipfel wandern und den Viewpoint mit Sicht auf etliche kleine Inseln genießen, die sich aus dem kristallklaren Wasser erheben. Diese Aussicht wurde auch auf einem der Scheine des Indonesischen Rupiah verewigt.Mit Abstand schönster Tauchspot, an dem wir auf Raja Ampat waren und an dem ich persönlich überhaupt je getaucht bin: Melissas Garden. Dort sitzen zwei Felsnadeln auf einem flachen Unterwasser-Plateau mit prächtigen Hart- und Weichkorallen. Das abfallende Riff fällt bis auf 20 Meter ab, wo es in den Sand mündet. Ich war in den letzten Jahren in Costa Rica, Kolumbien, Mexiko, Florida und vor den Fidschi-Inseln tauchen – aber Melissas Garden hat mit großem Abstand alles in den Schatten gestellt, sowohl die Rifflandschaft als auch die Tierwelt.Redaktion und Postproduktion: Erik LorenzSponsor dieser Folge ist NordVPN.

In der 14. Folge sprechen wir darüber, wo und wie du in Indonesien gut leben kannst. Wir teilen unsere persönlichen Eindrücke – von Gundas Erfahrungen auf abgelegenen Inseln wie Raja Ampat und Morotai bis hin zu Kathas Leben auf Bali – und beleuchten Vor- und Nachteile für Expats und Auswanderer. Gunda erzählt von der Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit auf den Nord-Molukken, wo die Natur zwar atemberaubend ist, der Alltag jedoch herausfordernd sein kann. Bali hingegen bietet viele Annehmlichkeiten für Expats und – je nach Region – eine Mischung aus balinesischem Dorfleben und moderner Infrastruktur. Außerdem überlegen wir, welche Orte in Indonesien sich noch gut zum Leben eignen, wenn du nicht komplett auf einen westlichen Lebensstil verzichten möchtest. Zum Abschluss gibt's wie immer unseren Business-Quick-Tipp: Katha teilt ihre besten Tricks, um morgens diszipliniert in den Arbeitstag zu starten. Sie erklärt, wie du mit kleinen Commitments den Einstieg ins Homeoffice verbessern kannst. Lasst uns wie immer Feedback da und seid auch das nächste Mal wieder dabei, wenn wir uns Gundas Business genauer anschauen!

The new episode of The Nick Fong Podcast featuring Randy and Jill delves into their adventurous transition from life in Canada to an international lifestyle centered around freedom and exploration. The couple, originally from Vancouver Island, shares how their decision to move to Cabo San Lucas was sparked by a harsh winter experience that led them to reevaluate their priorities. They sold their home and possessions, seeking a life unbound by the responsibilities of homeownership. Randy, a retired fire department captain with real estate experience, and Jill, who worked in the fashion industry, discuss how they adapted to living in Mexico, including obtaining permanent residency. They emphasize the ease of the process and their newfound flexibility. The couple's global travels included Egypt, Indonesia, Vietnam, and various other countries, where they engaged in unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences like a 360-kilometer motorcycle loop and diving in Raja Ampat. They also touch on starting their YouTube channel, Travel & Explore Now, initially focusing on short content before transitioning to longer videos. Their series, Goodbye Canada, highlights their observations about healthcare and infrastructure differences they noted while traveling, comparing these experiences to their Canadian background. The episode underscores their insights into real estate trends, expatriate life, and the benefits of slow travel, emphasizing the freedom and connections they have gained along the way.

A dazzling, evidence-based account of one man's quest to heal from complex PTSD by turning to endangered coral reefs and psychedelic plants after traditional therapies failed—and his awakening to the need for us to heal the planet as well. Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, “The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological.” What he's never told them is how he's lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother.  Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis (Regalo Press, 2024) is a deeply researched account of Greg turning to coral reefs and a psychedelic rainforest tea called ayahuasca to heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, Greg takes his readers on a journey across the globe. In his search for healing from personal and ecological trauma, he dives into both the ocean and the psyche—and finds they have a lot in common. Mothership is one man's audacious search for healing when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it's too late—and what well-being means in a fracturing society on a dying planet.

Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, “The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological.” What he's never told them is how he's lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother.  Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis (Regalo Press, 2024) is a deeply researched account of Greg turning to coral reefs and a psychedelic rainforest tea called ayahuasca to heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, Greg takes his readers on a journey across the globe. In his search for healing from personal and ecological trauma, he dives into both the ocean and the psyche—and finds they have a lot in common. Mothership is one man's audacious search for healing when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it's too late—and what well-being means in a fracturing society on a dying planet.

Today's guest is Jay Griffiths, award-winning author of several books, including the acclaimed Wild: An Elemental Journey. She speaks with co-host Rachel Donald about the importance of language for preserving communities and their cultures, the impact of colonization and globalization on Indigenous communities, and the innate human connection with the natural world in the land of one's birth.    Roughly 4,000 of the world's 6,700 languages are spoken by Indigenous communities, but multiple factors (such as the decimation of human rights) continue to threaten their existence along with their speakers' cultures.   The guest also explores parallels between humans, nature and culture: “There's great research that suggests that we learned ethics from wolves [by taking] an attitude to the world of both me the individual, and of me the pack member,” in caring for all members of the group, she says.   Please invite your friends to subscribe to the Mongabay Newscast wherever they get podcasts, from Apple to Spotify, or download our free app in the Apple App Store or in the Google Store to get access to our latest episodes at your fingertips.   If you enjoy the Newscast, please visit www.patreon.com/mongabay to pledge a dollar or more to keep the show growing, Mongabay is a nonprofit media outlet and all support helps!   See all our latest news from nature's frontline at Mongabay's homepage, mongabay.com, or follow Mongabay on any of the social media platforms for updates.   Image credit: Kali Biru (Blue River) on Waigeo Island in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia.

Sir David Attenborough explora las peligrosas fronteras creadas por las costas del mundo, donde los animales luchan por sobrevivir en medio de cambios constantes. En la península Robberg de Sudáfrica, miles de lobos marinos del Cabo están apretujados en una pequeña repisa. Un cachorro de un año se escapa al agua, donde el torpe joven se vuelve ágil y elegante. En los últimos años, esta costa ha sido el hogar de una cantidad sin precedentes de grandes tiburones blancos, y la colonia de focas debe unirse si quiere ahuyentar al depredador más famoso del mundo. La costa ártica es el escenario de la mayor transformación estacional del planeta, y el derretimiento de miles de millones de toneladas de hielo brinda oportunidades de corta duración a estas aguas costeras. Los animales llegan en masa, quizás el más extraño de los cuales sea el ángel marino. Esta seductora criatura tiene un lado diabólico: es un depredador voraz cuya emboscada no estaría de más en una película de terror de ciencia ficción. En la infame Costa de los Esqueletos de Namibia, donde el desierto más antiguo del mundo se encuentra con el frío Atlántico, conocemos a algunos residentes inesperados. Los leones hambrientos descubren esta costa por primera vez en 40 años y prueban suerte en una enorme colonia de aves marinas. Las costas atraen a visitantes de lugares lejanos. Una ballena franca austral llega al final de su viaje en Península Valdés, Argentina. En Columbia Británica, las culebras terrestres se sumergen en aguas frías en busca de comida. En la zona tropical de Raja Ampat, Indonesia, el arrecife de coral está protegido por un bosque. Los manglares son tolerantes a la sal y tienen sus raíces en el fondo marino, lo que brinda una oportunidad única para los peces arqueros, que utilizan chorros de agua como flechas para derribar insectos desde lo alto. Por el contrario, las lagunas poco profundas de Yucatán en México están muy expuestas. Es aquí, en estas piscinas hostiles e hipersalinas donde los flamencos caribeños eligen anidar, pero ¿podrán sus crías sobrevivir a las tormentas tropicales que han llegado temprano? Las costas son la primera línea de nuestro mundo cambiante. Las tormentas cada vez más impredecibles y los aumentos del nivel del mar son amenazas urgentes para quienes viven cerca de la costa, incluido casi el 40% de la población humana del mundo. En la pequeña isla Raine, decenas de miles de tortugas verdes hembras desembarcan para anidar, pero muchas quedan varadas por la marea baja. La isla está en tiempo prestado. Esta, la colonia de tortugas verdes más grande del mundo, está a punto de desaparecer bajo las olas. El final del episodio revela la velocidad del cambio a lo largo de la vida de Sir David. La suya fue la primera expedición cinematográfica en 1957. Poco podía imaginar cuánto cambiaría la isla en 66 años.

Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Monika from Aqua Expeditions for this week's episode. . If you want to help this channel out, you can buy me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PlentyofSunshineTravel . . In this week's episode, we took a deep dive into Aqua Blu's itineraries. All Aqua Expedition ships get a full refurbishment every year. They are kept in top condition. Aqua Blu holds no more than 30 guests onboard. . Aqua Blue visits the Komodo Islands, Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands. . From April to September, you will find them in Bali and the Komodo Islands. In October & November, you will visit the Spice Islands December, January & February, we go to the Raja Ampat region. In all of these regions, you can set sail for 7 nights. Of course, you will need to get from one region to the other, and some cruise lines call these repositioning cruises, but Aqua Expeditions calls these itineraries 12-night cross-destination expeditions . The top-selling itinerary I will need to book you on early is the itinerary incorporating the Spice Islands with Raja Ampat. You can also explore the itinerary that incorporates the forgotten Islands and spice islands and a little bit of the band of Sea Islands along the way. . Let's start with Raja Ampat: This is the number one diving site in the world, it is on the top of the bucket list for people who dive or even snorkel. It is the most marine bio-diverse island on the planet. There's so much to see here on land and by the water. . Moving on to Komodo/Flores In this area, you will enjoy the absolute highlight of this cruise! You will be taken out in a small boat. They will take you to a location only known to Aqua Expeditions, where you can experience a Blue Whale Shark sighting! This is a very rare and special experience in which you can experience the blue whale shark sightings. Aqua Expeditions is the only vessel to experience this. They have a great friendship with some of the local fishermen. This takes place very early in the morning. You were awakened to depart for this special activity even before sunrise. As the fishermen throw their nets into the water, small pieces of fish go into the water, and it attracts the Blue Whale Sharks. The Blue Whales emerge from beneath the ocean. You don't have to be in the water to experience this. But, many people hop into the water and experience swimming with the Blue Whale Sharks. It is life-changing! . Next, we discussed the seven-night Comodo National Park to Bali itinerary. 12 Night Flores to Spice Islands Maumere to Ambon. . Spice IslandsCenturies ago, this was the only place where spices like cinnamon and nutmeg were grown. This was an important island and an important region. The itineraries on Aqua Blue are: Raja Ampat -- Round-trip Raja Ampat to Spice Islands - -Cross-Destination Spice Islands to Flores -- Cross-Destination Bali to Komodo National Park -- Bi-Directional Komodo National Park to Bali -- Bi-Directional Flores (Labuan Baio) to Spice Islands -- Cross-DestinationAmbon & Spice Islands - Round-trip Spice Islands to Raja Ampat -- Cross-Destination.

Kate Adie introduces dispatches from Ukraine, Greece, Armenia, the US-Mexico border and Indonesia's Raja Ampat Islands. There have been months of speculation about when and how Ukraine might use its armed forces, and their new weaponry, in a counter-offensive to take back territory occupied by Russia. Russian attacks are still hitting Ukrainian cities almost every day. Hugo Bachega describes how two men in Kyiv - a civilian whose home was bombed, and the President, who must lead the country through this war - are keeping their nerve. Before the Greek election there was plenty of talk about the frustrated ambitions of young Greeks, and public outrage over cronyism in politics. Yet Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was re-elected, and his wasn't the only familiar face to be brought back to govern in Athens. Nick Beake covered the campaign, and gained a few insights into the enduring power of the country's political dynasties along the way. Armenia and Azerbaijan have been discussing normalising relations, and reopening transport links, in peace talks in Moscow - but there are still many potential stumbling blocks along the road to a settlement. The disputed enclave of Nagorno Karabakh is at the heart of the matter, but as Emily Craig heard while visiting southern Armenia, many people in the country still feel they're on a permanent war footing. Last week, international media readied themselves to cover an expected surge of people trying to cross the border into the United States from Mexico. It was believed that the expiry of the Title 42 regulations would trigger a new migration crisis. Yet it didn't happen - even though there are thousands of people still trying to enter the US. Bernd Debussman reports from the streets of El Paso. And in the island archipelago of Raja Ampat, in the Southwest Papua province of Indonesia, Sara Wheeler has recently seen wonders - including a rare glimpse of the purple tail of a Wilson's bird of paradise, and a walking shark in some of the world's most biodiverse waters.

"It just doesn't feel like a living Vietnamese town." Environmental impact, carbon emissions and artificial intelligence (AI) are three of the hottest topics in tourism. This week, Gary & Hannah welcome back Bali-based Stuart McDonald, Founder of Travelfish, to take on these vital talking points. Stuart recently travelled through Vietnam, where he tracked his carbon footprint using the Capture and Path Net Zero apps. He discusses his findings and observations while travelling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi by train. Stuart also discusses the contrasting challenges (and current outcomes) for tourism in Hoi An and Hue. Taking a tangential turn, we chat about AI chatbots in tourism, and the building of AI-generated content into travel products and information services. Rounding out the discussion, we address a phantom train in Cambodia (which tops the search rankings) and diving in Raja Ampat in Indonesia. And listen out for the rooster!
