  Site Description  
  Pulau Siberut is a relatively young, partly sedimentary island. The east coast is slowly subsiding and as a result has a very irregular coastline of bays, capes, islets and coral reefs. By contrast, the west coast is relatively straight and lined with broad sandy beaches and steep cliffs. The vegetation is well formed lowland forest including Dipterocarpus forest, some swampy Sago forest (3,000 ha), and freshwater swamp forest (east coast). There is also some mangrove forest on the east coast, and Barringtonia forest on the west coast. Principal vegetation: The freshwater swamp forest is dominated by Terminalia phellocarpa. The mangroves include Rhizophora sp, Shorea sp, Dialium sp, Dipterocarpus sp. and Oncosperma sp.  
  Site Location
