00:12hidden a big secret,
00:14a country that stretches along the equator.
00:19This country is a paradise of biodiversity in the world,
00:23and this land is home to creatures
00:26that won't be found anywhere else.
00:28But, this is not just a story about beauty.
00:33This is a story about the struggle for survival,
00:37and about miracles that are increasingly threatened by time.
00:41Beyond the whispering forests and roaring seas,
00:45there are species that are silent witnesses
00:47from the evolutionary journey of millions of years.
00:50And they are the extraordinary treasures of this country.
01:01Welcome to Indonesia.
01:12Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world,
01:15with more than 17 thousand islands spread from Sabang to Merauke.
01:21Each island is a small world that offers a unique ecosystem.
01:26From the tropical rainforests of Borneo,
01:28savanna in Nusa Tenggara,
01:30to the unrivaled coral reefs of Raja Ampat.
01:33This is where the world's third largest tropical forest stands,
01:38become the lungs of this planet.
01:40With more than 300 thousand species of flora and fauna,
01:44The sea contains more than 70% of coral reef species.
01:49Indonesia is one of the world's centers of biodiversity.
01:53But, what makes it so special,
01:56is the existence of endemic species
01:59which will not be found anywhere else in the country,
02:02like Komodo,
02:05with the scientific name Faranus Komodoensis.
02:09This prehistoric creature was the King of the Reptile World,
02:12with its deadly bite force.
02:15Komodo is a symbol of the power of nature,
02:18but their numbers are only left on a few small islands,
02:21which makes it even more vulnerable.
02:26Sumatran tiger,
02:28with the scientific name Pantera Tigris Sumatrai.
02:31This King of the Forest is the last predator of its kind in Indonesia,
02:36but the king must now survive against hunting and the loss of his home.
02:46Anoa,
02:47with the scientific name Bubalus depressornis.
02:50The Sulawesi Dwarf Buffalo is one of the most endangered species in Indonesia.
02:57They are a legacy of the past that is now on the brink.
03:02The Cendrawasih bird is known as the bird of paradise,
03:06because their dances really amaze the world.
03:09But,
03:10like heaven itself,
03:11their existence is increasingly difficult to reach.
03:14Bali Starling,
03:20with the scientific name Leukopsar Rochildi.
03:24Bali Starling,
03:25with pure white fur and blue eyes,
03:28is one of the rarest birds in the world.
03:30Her voice is soft,
03:32now only heard in a few corners of the conservation park.
03:35Begantan or
03:38Nasalis Larvatus
03:40Begantan
03:42This unique primate with its large nose is an icon of Borneo's mangrove forests.
03:47But their habitat continues to be lost due to deforestation.
03:51They are a reminder that beauty can come in even the strangest forms.
03:57Bornean Orangutan or Pongo Pygmeus
04:00Orangutans are not just animals,
04:03they are forest rangers.
04:04But now,
04:06they become a symbol of the suffering caused by habitat loss.
04:10Are we going to let them disappear?
04:14Sumatran Horned Frog
04:15or Megofris Nasuta
04:18With perfect disguise skills,
04:21This frog is proof that nature always has a way to survive.
04:26However,
04:27even the best camouflage couldn't save them
04:30from threats and habitat loss.
04:34King's Old Brother
04:36or Proboscis Aterimus
04:38With its strong beak and dark feathers,
04:42This bird is a symbol of the strength of the land of Papua,
04:45but like most beautiful things it rarely lasts.
04:48Now, they are also threatened by human actions.
04:55Flores Eagle
04:56With the scientific name Nisaetus Floris,
05:00This rare eagle is only found on Flores Island,
05:04become a symbol of strength and courage.
05:06Each of these species is a priceless treasure.
05:14They are the heritage of the earth,
05:17part of the big story of life that we all share.
05:20But,
05:21like a hidden treasure,
05:24they continue to face threats from human exploitation and indifference.
05:28Indonesia is a country with wonders that will not be found anywhere else.
05:35But all of this will only last if we care,
05:39if we take care,
05:40and if we act.
05:42So,
05:43let's make this story not just a memory,
05:45but a call to protect.
05:47Because without nature, we lose a part of ourselves.
