    Indonesia has highly diverse flora and fauna due to its location between the Asian and Australian zoogeographic zones, as well as its varied ecosystems like beaches, mangroves, and coral reefs. However, industrialization, population growth, illegal logging, and other issues are threatening Indonesia's biodiversity by reducing forest areas. Some examples of diverse fauna include over 771 bird species, 146 endemic to Sundaland, and around 515 mammal species, 173 of which are endemic, such as orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and rhinoceros.

    tropical island [1]. This high diversity is caused by the Wallace Line, divides
    Indonesia into two areas; Asian zoogeography zone, which is influenced by Asian
    fauna, zoogeography and Australasia zone, is influenced by the fauna of Australia
    [2]. Mixing of fauna in Indonesia is also influenced by the diverse ecosystems
    include: beaches, sand dunes, estuaries, mangroves, and coral reefs.

    Ecological problems that arise in Indonesia is the process of industrialization and
    high population growth, which causes a priority to preserve the ecosystems [3].
    This situation became progressively worse due to illegal logging activities, which
    cause a reduction in forest area; while other problems, including the high rate of
    urbanization, air pollution, waste management and sewage treatment systems also
    play a role in the destruction of forests.
