Siberut Island, Island in Mentawai archipelago, Indonesia.
Siberut Island spans 3,838 square kilometers of dense rainforest, mangrove swamps, coral reefs, and numerous rivers across its tropical landscape.
The island became a designated biosphere reserve in 1981, followed by the establishment of Siberut National Park covering 1,905 square kilometers in 1993.
Traditional Uma longhouses serve as communal dwellings for the Mentawai people, who maintain their distinct customs and practices on the island.
Visitors reach the island through ferry services from Padang, with slow boats taking 10-12 hours and fast boats offering reduced travel times.
The island contains four primate species found nowhere else: the bokkoi, lutung Mentawai, bilou, and simakobu, among its 31 mammal species.
