Siberut National Park comprises 1,905 km2 (47%) of the island of Siberut in the Mentawai Islands of West Sumatra, Indonesia. The whole island including the national park is part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.〔UNESCO: (Biosphere Reserves: Siberut ), July 2011〕 The notable aspects of the park are its endemic fauna, flora, and indigenous inhabitants, the Mentawai, who still live according to hunter-gather traditions. The Mentawai Islands are thought to have been isolated from mainland of Sumatra for over 500,000 years, thereby producing unique ecosystems.〔 ==Flora and fauna== The dominant ecosystem type is Dipterocarpaceae rainforest, but the park comprises also four other ecosystems: mixed primary forest, swamp forest, coastal forest and mangrove forest.〔Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia: ("Siberut National Park" ), retrieved 16 December 2013〕 A total of 864 plant species have been recorded in the park.〔 The park protects four endangered endemic primate species: Kloss's gibbon, Pagai Island macaque, Mentawai langur and pig-tailed langur.〔 Among the 31 species of mammals in the park〔 there are four endemic species of squirrel.〔 The park also protects 134 species of bird of which 19 are endemic,〔 including the Mentawai scops owl. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Siberut National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
