i may say that this information is useful as a start to look at in delve the place mentioned. Perhaps, it will be better with more photos
thank the ID forest friend for advice. we will fix soon …
but first of all, to note for this first period, we are only trying to inventory conservation areas (nature reserves, nature parks, wildlife sanctuaries, forest parks and national parks) in Indonesia, in descriptions. By processing the data we get from websites, journals or others.
new for the second period we will conduct an investigation in the field, to obtain real data.
So that in the end we can visualize the real state of conservation area in Indonesia
