Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park

The park spans 167,300 hectares across Halmahera Island, containing lowland and montane rainforest with numerous endemic tree species including Agathis and Intsia bijuga.

The region, part of the former Spice Islands, received national park status in 2004 following conservation initiatives that began with the National Conservation Plan of 1981.

The Togutil people, numbering approximately 2,000 individuals, maintain their semi-nomadic traditions within the protected forest areas of the national park.

Access to the park requires advance arrangements through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which manages conservation efforts and visitor regulations.

The park hosts 211 bird species, including the Wallace's standardwing, recognized for its elaborate mating displays and distinctive wing decorations.
