Especially during the time of the pandemic, the research site on the small island of Nusa Lembongan (Bali, Indonesia) was in a real bind. Since then, all companies in the tourism industry, which NGOs normally cross-finance, have been fighting for their own survival. It's crazy that our small community project from Munich has been able to cover almost all costs over the past two years and thus guarantee that operations can continue. We are extremely proud that all of Mantahari's customers support us so actively and continue to stand behind the vision and mission.

We are in constant contact with the local team:

We are proud not only to be jointly responsible for Jani's permanent position and numerous internships for young Indonesians, but also to have contributed to three scientific papers so far through the donations generated. Everyone who supports Mantahari in any way, be it by making a purchase or following and discussing the project on social media and face to face, has a part in this. From the bottom of the ocean: Thank you.

With other organizations you get a standard mail and maybe a card - we get sponsorships with manta rays from the MMF as a nice and heartfelt symbolic return for all our support - how cool is that?

That means, that we can adopt a manta ray for a donation of 200 USD, name it and receive the certificate. With over 1000 manta rays in the database in Komodo National Park and off Nusa Penida, there is still plenty to adopt!

The MMF certificates look so beautiful - you want to become a sponsor yourself? In addition to the donation share of the product sales, with which we regularly adopt ourselves, we also offer private sponsorships. This has already been used as a "guardian angel" at birth, as a Christmas present or simply for yourself. Name rights and certificate are then yours!

Of course, not everyone can be expected to become an ocean activist. Therefore we offer you to help on a small scale. By buying one of our products, you become an ambassador for the Mantahari brand and you may have delved a bit into the core idea of ​​the project. 50% of the profit - with one of the PET Caps, for example, it is 10 euros - will be donated to our partner, the Marine Megafauna Foundation (MMF), donated. Which part of the total amount is donated is explained with the respective product in the shop. In any case, the donation share is so high that the costs of the project are covered - nothing more.

Have it on site we can already make a difference, thanks to the many products that thousands of Mantahari Brand Ambassadors are already using, we have already been able to donate almost 30,000 USD to Indonesia, where our colleagues Ellie and Janis continue to support interns and give everything for research and education on site..
