Zamrud National Park, National park with peat swamp forest in Riau, Indonesia
The protected area encompasses two major lakes: Pulau Besar Lake spanning 2,416 hectares and Bawah Lake covering 360 hectares with dark waters.
The area transformed from a wildlife reserve established in 1980 to national park status in 2016 through a decree from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
Local fishing communities depend on the park's fourteen fish species, with eight varieties holding significant economic importance for their livelihoods.
Visitors reach the park through a two-hour drive from Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport to Dayun Village, followed by boat transportation.
Four distinct islands emerge within Pulau Besar Lake: Pulau Besar, Pulau Tengah, Pulau Bungsu, and Pulau Beruk, forming an archipelago in freshwater.
