Wetlands International Indonesia Programme

The wetlands are part of the largest swamp areas in the world. The swamps are an intricate part of the whole reserve, covering the complete range of habitats in this biogeographical region from sealevel mangroves to perpetual snowfields. Thus, the watercatchment area of the wetland river systems is situated within the reserve. It is one of the three places in the world where glaciers still exist at tropical latitudes. It covers alpine, upper and lower montane zones, foothills, low mountains, lowland alluvial plains and fans, lowland fresh water swamps, saline and brackish water swamps, beachridges coastal mangrove communities and littoral forests toward the sea. The reserve contains an enormous amount of lowland rivers and mangrove creeks. Ecological information however is scarce. Mangroves : 301,500 ha Peatswamp : 351,750 ha Wet Lowland Forest on Rocks : 335,000 ha
