Key Facts

Akat is a district (kecamatan) located within the Asmat Regency of Papua Province, Indonesia. Situated in the southwestern part of Papua, this administrative division lies within the vast and ecologically significant Asmat lowlands region, characterized by extensive mangrove forests, tidal swamps, and numerous rivers that flow into the Arafura Sea. The district covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers and serves as home to several thousand residents, primarily from the Asmat ethnic group who maintain their traditional cultural practices and subsistence lifestyle based on fishing, sago harvesting, and hunting. Akat is administratively divided into multiple villages (desa) that are scattered throughout its challenging terrain, with transportation primarily relying on river networks and small aircraft due to the limited road infrastructure. The district's location within one of Indonesia's most remote regions means it plays a crucial role in preserving the unique biodiversity of the Papua lowlands while supporting traditional communities.
