List of national parks of Indonesia
Of the 57 national parks, 6 are World Heritage Sites, 9 are part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves[1] and 5 are wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar convention. A total of 9 parks are largely marine. Around 9% of Indonesia's land area is protected (less than the 25% in Germany or the 33% in France), which also includes national parks.
The first group of five Indonesian national parks were established in 1980.[2] This number increased constantly reaching 41 in 2003. In a major expansion in 2004, nine more new national parks were created, raising the total number to 50.[3] Mount Tambora was added in 2015.[4] 3 more National Parks in Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Bangka Island were declared in 2016. Mamberamo Foja in Papua is the youngest national park in Indonesia after its new status announced in 2024.[5]
