Brief Description
This national park, located in the extreme
south-western tip of Java on the Sunda shelf, includes the Ujung Kulon
peninsula and several offshore islands and encompasses the natural reserve of
Krakatoa. In addition to its natural beauty and geological interest –
particularly for the study of inland volcanoes – it contains the largest
remaining area of lowland rainforests in the Java plain. Several species of
endangered plants and animals can be found there, the Javan rhinoceros being
the most seriously under threat.
