Wetlands International Indonesia Programme

This is the second largest reserve in Sumatra and includes swamp grassland, Nypa forest, freshwater swamp forest, hill diptocarp forest and montane elements. Over 70% of the reserve, which sits on rich volcanic strata, is classified as lowland forest. Along the coastline, the park supports myriad coastal habitats, including sandy, rocky, coral and muddy substrate. In the north, the park contains areas with slopes of 20-80 degrees; in the south, the land becomes flatter with a few fairly high hills and swamps in areas close to the beach. The area includes a complete coverage of Southern Sumatran fauna. Both timber companies and illegal settlements currently threaten the park. Roads cut the area into many small fragments. Principal vegetation: Mangrove forest, freshwater swamp and peatswamp, swampy grasslands. The lowland forests are characterized by typical Dipterocarp genera such as Shorea, Dipterocarpus, Arctocarpus, Hopea, Agathis and Durio.

Site Location

The park lies in the wettest part of Sumatra, running down the southern end of the Barisan moutain range.

Special Memmo

The lakes and swampy areas are important for waterfowl. The beach is said to be used by three turtle species, including the Giant Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) and the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas). It is one of the best areas for protecting
