What Makes Indonesia Unique?
Each region in Indonesia tells a different story — shaped by its climate, biodiversity, culture, and traditions.
Indonesia lays along the equator with a balmy, tropical climate that tends to be relatively even all year round. Indonesia has two seasons – a wet season and a dry season.
For most of Indonesia the dry season falls between April and October with the wet season between November and March, but no matter when you visit you will be greeted by a tropical warmth that inspires adventure and play.
Indonesia’s size, tropical climate, and archipelagic geography support an amazingly high level of biodiversity. In fact Indonesia is second only to Australia in terms of total endemic species, with 36% of its 1,531 species of bird and 39% of its 515 species of mammal being endemic. No wonder this country was such a source of fascination for Darwin and Wallace – it literally inspired the theory of evolution!
Indonesia’s coastal ecosystems are some of its most fascinating (and accessible) as they are the point at which the marine and terrestrial worlds collide and also some of the most populated. With over 80,000 kilometres of coastline there is an incredible range of habitats to explore, such as beaches, savannah, estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds, coastal mudflats, tidal flats, algal beds, and small island ecosystems.
After the students have learnt all about the rainforests and their inhabitants, they can also switch to experiencing the crystal clear waters filled with some of the most amazing coral reefs in the world.
The modern day cultural environment of Indonesia is incredibly rich and complex due to the longstanding interaction between indigenous cultural practices and multiple foreign influences.
Indonesia’s geographical position along the ancient trading routes between the Far East, South Asia and the Middle East has created a convergence of religions and languages which in turn have shaped a myriad of unique cultural forms across the archipelago. These interplays between the ancient and the modern are never more fascinating than here in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s burgeoning population is especially concentrated on the islands of Java and Bali which places enormous pressure on local ecosystems. Problems include deforestation, exploitation of marine resources, unsustainable agricultural practices and waste management issues. All fascinating subjects (along with their solutions) for young global citizens to explore and to start engaging in action now.
