Aketajawe-Lolobata

Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park protects 167,300 hectares of pristine tropical rainforest on Halmahera, the largest island in Indonesia North Maluku province. Established in 2004, the park consists of two non-contiguous sections that together safeguard a remarkable portion of the Wallacea biodiversity hotspot where Asian and Australasian flora and fauna intermingle. The park lowland and montane rainforests harbor exceptional levels of endemism, with numerous species found nowhere else on Earth. Notable endemic species include Wallace standardwing bird-of-paradise, the critically endangered Moluccan megapode, and numerous endemic reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.
