Deep in Indonesia’s marsh forests and peat swamps live some of the world’s rarest fish species. These quiet waters are home to an incredible biodiversity, but they are disappearing fast. Forests are being cleared, wetlands drained, and waters polluted, leaving these fragile habitats smaller and more fragile every year. If nothing changes, some Indonesian endemic species could vanish forever.

​

That’s why we’ve chosen to focus our efforts on Parosphromenus species. These fish, often called “liquorice gouramis,” are tiny, brilliantly colored, and found nowhere else on Earth. They are a symbol of the incredible biodiversity of these wetlands and a reminder of how much we stand to lose.
