JAKARTA: Indonesia has successfully retained Lake Toba’s status as a Unesco Global Geopark, following a previous yellow card warning issued two years ago because of concerns over poor management and governance of the North Sumatran lake.

In July, a Unesco assessment team conducted a five-day evaluation to determine whether Lake Toba met the criteria to maintain its Global Geopark designation.
