Thought Raja Ampat Was Paradise. We Found a Front Line

Описание: Raja Ampat is known as the "Last Paradise" on Earth. But during our expedition to the heart of Indonesia, we discovered a silent war happening underwater. 🌊 *Is it too late to save the world's most beautiful coral reefs?*

In this documentary, we explore the biodiversity of the Coral Triangle, dive with baby sharks, and reveal the dark history of dynamite fishing that created underwater "fields of death." But we also find hope. We join the *Orang Laut* NGO, a team of local heroes replanting the reef one fragment at a time.

This isn't just a travel vlog; it's a look at the resilience of nature, the dangers of mass tourism, and the race against the 2050 climate clock.

*🦈 WHY THIS MATTERS:*

Coral reefs support 25% of all marine life. Raja Ampat is a "Super Reef" that might hold the secret to surviving climate change. But tourism is a double-edged sword. We explain why supporting Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and community-based conservation is the only way forward.
