Location: Muting, Merauke, Papua

Muting children doing recreational fishing in Muting Swampy Area. Muting is apart of Wasur National Park (WNP). This WNP forms part of the largest wetland in Papua province of Indonesia and has been the least disturbed by human activity. The high value of its biodiversity has led to the WNP being dubbed the „Serengeti of Papua“. There are four groups of indigenous peoples living in the park, belonging to the tribes of Kanume, Marind, Marori and Yei, who rely on the area for their daily needs.
