Central Papua, Administrative division in Indonesia
Central Papua extends across mountainous landscapes and coastal regions, forming a substantial territorial section in the eastern part of Indonesia.
The province emerged from a governmental reorganization in June 2022, when the former Papua province was divided into separate administrative regions.
The region contains numerous indigenous communities speaking over 300 distinct languages, maintaining their traditional practices through generations.
Transportation within Central Papua relies on a combination of air travel and the developing Trans-Papua Highway network connecting major settlements.
The province manages substantial natural resources, including gold deposits and petroleum reserves, while balancing environmental conservation efforts.
