Southwest Papua, Maritime province on Bird's Head Peninsula, Indonesia.
Southwest Papua extends across the northern section of New Guinea, including the Raja Ampat archipelago with numerous coral reefs and marine habitats.
The territory integrated into Indonesia in 1969, and gained provincial status in 2022 when it separated from the West Papua region.
The province contains 52 distinct ethnic communities within the Doberai territory, including the Moi, Maybrat, Ayamaru, and Aitinyo populations.
Sorong, the provincial capital, functions as a transportation center with an international airport and seaport connecting to other Indonesian regions.
The Tambrauw region maintains 80 percent of its land as protected forest areas, supporting diverse wildlife and natural ecosystems.
