Objective of Presentation

› Occupying only 1.3 % of the world’s land surface, Indonesia is fourth in

terms of population. It has some 12 % of the world’s mammals, 16 % of

its reptiles and amphibians, 17 %of its birds, and 25 % of fish species.

› There are approximately 600 mammal species (280 are endemic), 411

reptiles species (150 endemic), 270 amphibians (100 endemic) and

1,531 birds (26 % endemic).

› Known species of non-fish vertebrates total 2,906 (927 endemic).

› 30,000 to 35,000 plant species, the fifth highest level in the world

(BAPPENAS 1993). Indonesia is host to the world’s richest coral species

biodiversity (450 species) (Wilkinson 2000).
