JARI

JARI is a locally run marine conservation organisation based in Lombok, Indonesia. With a strong focus on marine education programs, our overarching aim is to improve the condition of Indonesia's threatened marine ecosystems through education, conservation, research, eco-tourism and, most importantly, working together with local communities... Our model focuses on empowering local communities to understand and manage their local marine resources, while also highlighting the importance of marine conservation to policymakers and big business. We believe in helping communities to realise the value of their marine environments and giving them the tools to manage and protect it.
