Description and Table of Contents

Description

Indonesia's plant and animal life and its natural ecosystems are some of the most spectacular and varied on Earth. Tanah Air or 'land and water' is an expression Indonesians use to describe their country and this book explores its two great natural systems - the forests and the seas. An introduction sets the scene of Indonesia's rich natural environment, and there follows a fascinating investigation of Indonesia's coral reefs and rain forests. More than a mere catalogue of species, the way in which people have interacted with the natural environment through the centuries is a central theme of this book. A practical guide to Indonesia's national parks and reserves concludes this celebration of Indonesia's natural beauty.
