Danau Sentarum National Park, National park and Ramsar site in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The park spans 132,000 hectares of interconnected lakes, rivers, and floodplains that form a complex wetland system in the heart of Borneo.

The area transformed from a Wildlife Reserve in 1982 to a Ramsar site in 1994, before receiving national park status in 1999.

Twenty village enclaves within the park boundaries house 3,000 residents, including Dayak communities who maintain traditional longhouse settlements.

Access to the park requires boat transportation from Semitau on the Kapuas River or from Lanjak and Embaloh near Putussibau.

The wetland ecosystem supports 240 fish species, 237 bird species, and 143 mammal species, including orangutans and proboscis monkeys.
