Chasing rainbows and diving the word’s richest c Chasing rainbows and diving the word’s richest coral reefs…. Since today is World Biodiversity Day, I wanted to share some video from one of my favorite places - the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua, Indonesia.  I’ve always been drawn to the planet’s most diverse habitats - rain forests and coral reefs.  I’m fascinated by the diversity of life forms that they can support, and the wonders of evolution that created all that diversity, and the mystery of how it all coexists.  It’s fascinating and wonderful to spend time in these places.  I’ve devoted my career to telling the stories of wild places like this and the creatures that inhabit them, and spreading the word on the importance of protecting nature.  Raja Ampat has been documented to have the highest diversity of corals and fish of any place in the world. 

Thanks for your interest and support, and I hope that together we can make a difference for the wild places and biodiversity of our planet that is worth saving in its own right, but also critical for a healthy planet!

And take note fellow underwater photographers.  There is still space on our photo workshop this August in Raja Ampat if you want to experience this amazing place and work on your photography.  Follow the link in my bio for details.  Responsible eco-tourism helps to protect these reefs.
