Ujung Kulon National Park

Ujung Kulon National Park, Java, Indonesia

Ujung Kulon National Park, located in Banten Province on the extreme southwest tip of Java, is home to the critically endangered Javan Rhinoceros, with an estimated population of around 60 individuals. The park boasts diverse flora and fauna, including endemic primate species like the Javan gibbon and Javan leaf monkey, various carnivores, over 270 bird species, and a rich marine ecosystem with mangrove forests and coral reefs. The area was significantly impacted by the 1883 Krakatau eruption, leading to the formation of the property, making it a globally significant habitat. Visitors can witness ongoing evolutionary processes, hike through lowland rainforests, explore coastline, and enjoy scenic views. Conservation efforts focus on protecting the rhino population and preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the park.
