Gunung Maras National Park

Gunung Maras National Park extends over 16,806 hectares of primary forests, hills, and mangroves from Mount Maras to the shores of Teluk Kelabat Dalam.

The Indonesian government established this protected area on July 27, 2016, through ministerial decree number 576/Menlhk/Setjen/PLA.2/7/2016 to preserve natural resources.

Local Malay tribes, including Mapur, Jerieng, and Maras people, consider Mount Maras sacred territory and maintain traditional practices to protect it.

The park divides into five zones - core, wilderness, utilization, special purpose, and rehabilitation - each offering different levels of access and activities.

Fifty-three tree species grow within the park boundaries, including pelawan, Trema orientalis, and Eugenia polyantha, alongside pangolins, civets, and monkeys.
