13 WWF at Work The Coral Triangle spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste has seen recent dramatic human population growth and development. As a result, unsustainable coastal development has increased, as has the demand for tuna, shark fins, turtle products and live reef fish. For more than 20 years, WWF has worked to address the challenges facing the Coral Triangle. Among the issues we work on are overfishing and illegal fishing, effective management of marine protected areas, regulations protecting marine turtles and their habitats and the impact of climate change on coral reefs. We plan to reach the following targets by 2020: A 50 percent increase in area of priority coral reef habitats that is protected and sustainably managed with effective financing in place; Zero decline in the populations of three endangered marine turtle species (leatherback, hawksbill, green) from 2008 levels. Halting and reversing the degradation of key marine resources coral reef habitats, turtles, reef fish, and tuna.
