Lore Lindu National Park is located in the province of Central Sulawesi. The park is a major catchment area of the Gumasa-Palu and Lariang Rivers. It consits of rugged terrain that is surrounded byu four distinct valleys. To the west of the Park, the narrow steep Kulawi-Gimpu Valleys runs apporximately north-south following the Fossa Sarasina Rift. The more extensive Napu valley to the east of the Park follows the shallower Tawaelia Rift. These rifts converge at the southern extremity of the Park in the Bada Valley area. The fourth valley, the Palolo-Sopu valley, is on the northern side of the park (SCHWEITHELM et al., 1992).
Lake Lindu is a large ancient freshwater lake (3,200 ha), situated in the Lore Lindu National Park. The lake is of high irrigation value for extensive agricultural areas. It is of special interest because it is the only site in Indonesia of the disease Schistosomiais (bilharzia). In the 1930's and 40's also the related disease Echinostomiasis was found. The endemic mussels Corbicula lindoensis and C. subplanata were the primairy source of human infection. The National Park does not contain any large wetland other than this lake and the upper reaches of the rivers Lariang and Palu.
Lake Lindu has a maximum depth about 100 m, and is considered to be a Tectonic lake (?). The lake is considered as Mesotrophic lake by Giesen (1991).
The Park contains a wealth of endemic wildlife, has a high recreational value and important as ethnic historic site (megalith monuments).
The forest on flat to gently sloping alluvial soils in Lore Lindu NP, are rich in epiphytic climbing plant, a characteristic which differentiates them froom the uniform physiognomy of forest vegetation on steeper slopes. An important feature of vegetation is the dominance of rattan or 'lauro' (Calamus spp.) throughout the Park (SCHWEITHELM et al., 1992). WIRAWAN in SCHWEITHELM et al. (1992) recognized two major altitudinal vegetation zones: the lowland and montane rain forests that are separated by the 1,000 m elevation contour.
Most Sulawesi's endemic mammals and 83 % of its endemic avifauna have been recorded in or closely associated with the Park. Althogh large mammals are not abundant and detailed ecological research so far has been limited to small mammals, Lore Lindu is definitely a viable conservtion unit particularly when the present forest ecosystems are kept undisturbed (WWF 1981 in SCHWEITHELM et al., 1992).
Large endemic mammals that are found in the Park are the highland Anoa (Anoa quarlesi), babirusa (Babyrousa babyrusa), Celebes pig (Sus celebensis), the Tonakean macaque (Macaca tonkeana), both bear and Celebes cuscus (Phalaangr ursinus and P. celebensis), Tarsius spectrum, and Maccrogalidia muschenbroeki.
Important bird species recorded in the park are the rarest species such as Rallus plateni, Scolopax celebensis, Tyto inexpectata, Geomalia heinrichi and the endemic ground nesting bird Macrocephalon maleo. There are at least six nesting grounds of maleo in the Park occurring up to 1,000 m elevation. One of the biggest nesting grounds is located along Saluki River, about one hour walk from Saluki Village on the Kulawi road (SCHWETHELM et al., 1992).
Reptile, amphibian, and fish fauna are poorly known. The most commonly observed sakes in the Park are racers, Elaphe erythrura and E. janseni. The Phthon reticulatus and king cobra (Ohpiophagus hannah) are also common. Lake Lindu has six species of fish (five introduced and one indigenous), but only the large rivers on the edge of the Park contain fish. Eels hoever are very common even in the smallest streams (SCHWEITHELM, et al., 1992).
The Lore Lindu NP is bounded on all sides by valleys containing agrarian communities of traditional and migrant people. Most people in boundary villages around the Park lead a semi-subsitence lifestyle based on cultivation of rice (sawah), dryland food crops, tree crops, livestock rearing and harvesting forest products. Two officially recognized encalves exist within the Park, Besoa in the South and Lindu in the North. In Besoa there is excess sawah and therefore little preasure to extend agricultural land into the park. The situation in Lindu is uncertain because the valley may be flooded by the proposed hydro-electric dam (SCHWEITHELM et al., 1992). |

Site Location |
|
| |
Taman Nasional Lore Lindu is located on central Sulawesi, 50km south from Palu, Kabupaten Donggala/Poso.
The Park boundary area can be reached from Palu by a poor road system extending as far south as the Besoa enclave on the east and Gimpu on the west. The Bada valley in the south can be reached by light aircraft or a poor road entering from Tentena to the east SCHWEITHELM et al., 1992) |
