Ujung Kulon National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Indonesia, is a biodiverse sanctuary renowned for its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and rare wildlife. It serves as the last refuge for the critically endangered Javan rhino, alongside other species like leopards, gibbons, and sea turtles. The park’s volcanic landscape, including the iconic Krakatau island, adds to its ecological and historical significance. Conservation efforts here focus on protecting its unique ecosystem and promoting sustainable tourism.
