Siberut National Park

The park extends across 1,905 square kilometers of Siberut Island, featuring dense rainforests, mangroves, and swamps that support 864 plant species.

The protection of Siberut began in 1976 with Teitei Batti Wildlife Refuge, leading to its national park designation in 1992 to safeguard its ecosystems.

The Mentawai people maintain their traditional hunter-gatherer practices within the park boundaries, following customs developed over centuries of isolation.

Visitors reach the park by taking a boat from Padang to Siberut Island, where local guides lead treks through marked paths in the rainforest.

Four primate species found nowhere else inhabit the park: Kloss's gibbon, Siberut macaque, Siberut langur, and pig-tailed langur.
