burning so attractive that it can become common in spite of being illegal. Not long ago, Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) was a wild and remote area, but now it is being cleared at an alarming rate. A similar fate could await Papua, followed by massive sediment runoff and reef destruction (McKenna, Boli, and Allen 2002). The low population density and relative underdevelopment of Papua affords time to try to avert coral reef destruction, but complacency could result in much greater threats to reefs in Papua in the future.
Saving the coral reefs of Papua will require the assistance of many people, but luckily Papua’s reefs remain in better condition than many reefs elsewhere in the world. This provides conservationists and managers with a rare opportunity to be proactive in conservation activities. It remains to be seen whether we will be able to take advantage of this opportunity and protect Papua coral reefs for future generations.
