Site Description
|
|
| |
An archipelago of two main islands (Kai Besar and Kai Kecil) and dozens of smaller ones. Kai kecil is densily populated. Only its northern and southern part are still forested. Kai Besar is long, thin and hilly. All coastal areas are under cultivation and also the forest on the lower hillslopes has been cleared.
The wetlands consist of mangrove swamps and sandy beaches. These beaches are important as turtle nesting sites. The surrounding coastal waters have a viable Dugong population. The area has a rich avifauna with 5 endemics.
Principal vegetation: Rhizophora spp, Bruguiera spp, Sonneratia sp, Xylocarpus sp.
Rusila Noor in Monk et al (1997) lists four lakes in Kai Islands (3 lakes in Kai Kecil and 1 lake in Kai Besar). They are Lakes Ablel, Ngilngof, Penit in Kai Kecil Island, and Lake Penit in Kai Besar island |
