West Nusa Tengara
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 0%
The Lesser Sunda eco-region, which is part of the Coral Triangle, is considered a priority conservation region in Indonesia. Within the region, marine passages around the Province of West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) are a habitat for a rich variety of coral reefs, abundant pelagic and reef fishes, and a corridor for migratory turtle, dolphin, and whale species. WCS Indonesia Program (WCS IP) works in WNT to support the government. For simplification purposes, the stronghold is connected as one, although WCS IP works only in the limited areas within the WNT as shown in the stronghold map.
Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
The chart below represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
