Indonesia Punya Banyak dari Total Spesies Dunia

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan kekayaan biodiversitas terestrial tertinggi kedua di dunia. Bahkan, jika digabungkan dengan keanekaragaman hayati di laut, Indonesia menjadi yang pertama. (Data LIPI: 2017)

Bahkan, jika dibandingkan dunia, Indonesia memiliki 17 persen total spesies dunia yang terdiri dari 35-40 ribu spesies tumbuhan (11-15 persen), 707 spesies mamalia (12 persen), 350 spesies amphibi dan reptil (15 persen), 1.602 spesies burung (17 persen), 2.184 spesies ikan air tawar (37 persen),  dan kekayaan laut meliputi setidaknya 2.500 spesies molusca, 2.000 spesies krustasea, 6 spesies penyu laut, 30 spesies mamalia laut dan lebih dari 2.500 spesies ikan.

Hewan Endemik Indonesia

Sebagai negara yang memiliki biodiversitas tinggi di dunia, jika dipilah dari banyaknya spesies yang ada, Indonesia memiliki spesies hewan asli, alias hewan yang berasal hanya dari Indonesia atau hewan yang mendiami wilayah tertentu secara alami dan tidak ditemukan di wilayah lain, yang disebut hewan endemik.

Berhubung negara kita memiliki ribuan pulau dengan ciri keanekaragaman hayatinya, jumlah hewan endemik juga ada banyak. Tidak dipungkiri, tiap pulau di Indonesia memiliki jenis hewan endemiknya sendiri dengan keunikan dan ciri khas tertentu asli Indonesia.

Beberapa contoh jenis hewan endemik Indonesia di antaranya Harimau Sumatera, Badak Sumatera, Orangutan, Gajah Kalimantan, Jalak Bali, Komodo, Burung Maleo, Burung Cenderawasih dan Tarsius Kerdil.

Indonesian Endemic Animals

indonesiabaik.id - There are native animals to Indonesia, often known as endemic animals, among the numerous species that exist.

Many of the world's species are found in Indonesia

 Indonesia is a country with the second-highest terrestrial biodiversity in the world. In fact, Indonesia comes in the first place when this statistic is coupled with marine biodiversity. (2017 LIPI data)

Comparatively speaking, Indonesia has 17% of all species found worldwide, including 35–40 thousand plant species (11–15%), 707 mammal species (12%), 350 amphibian and reptile species (15%), 1,602 bird species (17%), 2,184 freshwater fish species (37%) and marine biodiversity, which includes at least 2,500 mollusk species, 2,000 crustacean species, 6 sea turtle species, 30 marine mammal species, and more than 2,500 fish species.

 Indonesian Endemic Animals

Indonesia has endemic animals, which are animals that are only found in Indonesia or are animals that naturally inhabit certain places and are not found in other areas. This makes Indonesia the country with the highest biodiversity in the world.

 Indonesia has a great number of endemic animals due to the country's thousands of islands, each of which has a unique biodiversity. There is no denying that each Indonesian island has its own endemic animal species, each of which is distinctive and only found in Indonesia.

Some examples of endemic animal species to Indonesia include the Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhino, Orangutan, Kalimantan Elephant, Bali Starling, Komodo Dragon, Maleo Bird, Cenderawasih Bird, and Pygmy Tarsier.
