Marine conservation collides with mining in Indonesia’s biodiversity-rich Moramo Bay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SOUTH KONAWE, Indonesia — A marine protected area in Indonesia’s Southeast Sulawesi province is home to a critically depleted population of humphead wrasse. The species presence helped the area gain its protected status, but mining permits overlap parts of the conservation zone and line its coast.

As he waited for the vessel to depart, the 42-year-old member shared his experience working at sea. “I only have a primary school education.
