Timor-Leste is a small island nation located in Southeast Asia. Despite its small size, the country boasts a diverse and unique marine ecosystem, with various marine species and habitats found nowhere else. In recognition of the importance of this ecosystem, Timor-Leste has established several Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to help conserve and protect its marine resources.

CTI-CFF is pleased to share updates on our activities from January to March 2023. We are excited to bring you the latest edition of our newsletter, filled with news and highlights of our recent accomplishments.

Firstly, we are thrilled to share our successful visit to Timor-Leste, where we engaged with local communities and stakeholders to promote sustainable development and conservation efforts in the Coral Triangle region.
