Conservation

We greatly appreciate the local community, which knows "their" Lake Matano well and has been working for its protection for a long time.

Originally an informal group of biology students, they founded their own conservation organization TARSIUS.

Our 2024 annual report clearly summarizes our activities, projects, finances, and other important changes and events.

Positive news from Lake Matano, where local communities are committed to protecting and sustaining this unique home to many endemic species.

Targeted capture of invasive fish is the only environmentally friendly method that gives hope to Lake Matano and its endemic inhabitants.

We installed aquariums in five schools near Lake Poso, presenting a piece of this unique underwater world.

After the field trips, we visited two schools and presented the biodiversity of Lake Poso, our activities, and also the possibilities for everyone to get involved in exploring and protecting this unique place.
