The Wasur National Park forms part of the largest wetland in Merauke Regency, South Papua, Indonesia and has been one of the least disturbed by human activity.[3] The high value of its biodiversity has led to the park being dubbed the "Serengeti of Papua".[3] The vast open wetland, in particular Rawa Biru Lake, attracts a very rich fauna.
