Misool Resort Partnership: Our joint mission is to safeguard the future of the world’s most biodiverse reefs and the communities that depend upon them.

Misool Resort and Misool Foundation have developed a unique model which uses business profits to support conservation. This model is self-reinforcing. It helps to expand the megafauna population, attracting more ecotourists and ecotourism revenues, which can then be re-invested in education and conservation efforts. Education and increased public attention also help to build support for conservation abroad.
