Indonesia
The Republic of Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world
comprising 17,504 large and small tropical islands fringed with white
sandy beaches, many still uninhabited and a number even still unnamed.
Because of her location, and geology, Indonesia is blessed with the most
diverse landscape, from fertile rice lands on Java and Bali to the
luxuriant rainforests of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, to the
savannah grasslands of the Nusatenggara islands to snow-capped peaks of
West Papua.
Her wildlife ranges from the prehistoric giant Komodo lizard to the
Orang Utan and the Java rhino, to the Sulawesi anoa dwarf buffalos, to
birds with exquisite plumage like the cockatoo and the bird of paradise.
This is also the habitat of the Rafflesia the world’s largest flower,
wild orchids, an amazing variety of spices, and aromatic hardwood and a
large variety of fruit trees.
