Warir

Warir, or Waiji, is an island in the Raja Ampat Archipelago of Southwest Papua, Indonesia.

Situated in the Sele Strait, it lies off the eastern coast of the larger island of Salawati.

Its interior is forested, with mangroves fringing the coastal areas, and some agricultural land in the north.

Warir has long been used for cultivation, and it has been important for the people of Samate and Kalobo villages of Salawati.

For about a year during World War II, the island was inhabited by the people of Samate who had fled the Japanese occupation of their village.
