Sundaland biodiversity hotspot
The Sundaland biodiversity hotspot is a region in Southeast Asia that includes the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Java, and the Malay Peninsula. It is recognized for its rich variety of plant and animal species, many of which are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. This area is home to unique wildlife, including the Sumatran tiger and the Bornean orangutan.
Despite its ecological significance, Sundaland faces severe threats from deforestation, habitat loss, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect its diverse ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. Sustainable practices and habitat restoration are essential for preserving this vital hotspot.
