Located at the southernmost tip of the Solomon Islands, Ren'nell Island is a natural jewel in the Pacific Ocean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island is famous for its unique rising coral lake, Lake Tegano, the largest of its kind in the world, which is connected to the ocean and nurtures a rich marine life and rainforest ecosystem. The island is inhabited by traditional communities that have preserved a primitive way of life in harmony with the natural environment. Rennell Island is not only an important area for biological research, but also an ideal destination for ecotourism and adventure, attracting nature lovers from around the globe.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
