Address:
Tasitolu, Timor-Leste

Tasitolu is a protected area on the coast of East Timor, 8 kilometres west of the capital Dili. The Tasitolu wetlands include three saline lakes, an esplanade, and a beach; it has been designated a Wetland of National Significance.

A 2004 reforestation project, which included community member participation, was funded by the national government.
