Indonesia

Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago with over 17,000 islands, ranks among Earth’s most biodiverse nations. Its tropical rainforests, coral reefs (part of the Coral Triangle), and volcanic landscapes host 10% of the planet’s flowering plants, 12% of mammals (including orangutans and Sumatran tigers), and 17% of bird species. Home to the legendary Komodo dragon and Raja Ampat’s marine paradise, Indonesia’s ecosystems face threats from deforestation and climate change. A biodiversity hotspot, it balances ecological wealth with conservation challenges, making it vital to global sustainability efforts.
