Following a national park worth visiting tourists when visiting Indonesia:
Komodo National Park
Indonesia's tropical forest extent of 98 million hectares (estimate forest area in 2000). The data contained in the book Portrait of State Forests Indonesia, FWI / GFW 2001, Bogor, Indonesia, the existing biodiversity in the forests of Indonesia covering 11% of the world's plant species, 10% of mammal species, and 16% of bird species.
Around 17,000 islands Indonesia has seven major biogeographic regions and diversity of habitat types incredible.
Komodo National Park consists of three large islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar island islands as well as 26 large / small. A total of 11 pieces of the mountain / hill in the Komodo National Park with the highest peak is Mount Satalibo (± 735 m asl). Terrestrial national park is 603 km ² and the total area is 1817 km ².
Natural state is dry and arid make a unique. The existence of a vast savanna, limited water resources and the temperature is hot enough; proved to be a habitat favored by a kind of ancient animal Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis).
Much of this national park is savanna with palm trees (Borassus flabellifer) the most dominant and distinctive. Some plants that exist in the Komodo National Park, among others, rattan (Calamus sp.), Bamboo (Bambusa sp.), Acid (Tamarindus indica), bulging (Sterculia foetida), lote (Ziziphus jujuba), and mangrove (Rhizophora sp.)

Ujung Kulon National Park
This park is representative of tropical rain forest ecosystem remaining lowland and the largest in West Java, and is an ideal habitat for the survival of endangered Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) and other rare animals. There are three types of ecosystems in national parks is the aquatic ecosystem of sea, marsh ecosystems, and terrestrial ecosystems.
Diversity of plants and animals in Ujung Kulon National Park began to be known by the researchers, botanists Netherlands and the UK since 1820.

Endangered and protected animals other than Java rhinoceros is the banteng (Bos javanicus javanicus), ajag (Cuon alpinus javanicus), Javan (Presbytis Comata Comata), langur (Trachypithecus auratus auratus), deer (Cervus russa timorensis), leopard (Panthera pardus), cats rock (Prionailurus javanensis bengalensis), gibbon (Hylobates moloch), and giant clam (Tridacna gigas).
Lorentz National Park
This park is representative of the complete ecosystem for biodiversity in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This area is also one of the three regions in the world that have glaciers in the tropics. Stretching from the snow-covered mountain peak (5,030 meters above sea level), to stretch out to the coastal waters with mangrove forests and borders of the waters of the Arafura Sea. In this stretch, there is a spectrum of ecological stunning alpine vegetation of the region, sub-alpine, montane, sub-montane, lowland, and wetland
The types of vegetation in this park include palm (Nypa fruticans), mangrove (Rhizophora apiculata), Pandanus julianettii, Colocasia esculenta, Avicennia marina, Podocarpus pilgeri, and Nauclea coadunata.
The types of animals that have been identified in the Lorentz National Park as many as 630 species of birds (± 70% of the bird in Papua) and 123 species of mammals. Bird species characteristic of this national park there are two types of cassowaries, four megapodes, 31 types of virgin / doves, 30 species of parrots, 13 species of birds of shrimp, 29 species of birds of honey, and 20 endemic species include long-tailed paradise paradise (Paradigalla caruneulata) and quail snow (Anurophasis monorthonyx).
Mammal fauna is recorded, among others, a long snout pig spines (Zaglossus bruijnii), pig snout short spines (Tachyglossus aculeatus), 4 types of possum, wallaby, bobcat, and tree kangaroos.
Tropical rain forests of Sumatra
This forest is home to a variety of living things. Many of them are endangered species, such as the Sumatran orangutan, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rabbit, and Sumatran rhinoceros. In the tropical rain forest is also grows a variety of endemic plants, such as bags semar, the world's largest flower Rafflesia and Amorphophallus highest interest.
