00:00Morotai Island is an island and district located in the Maluku Islands.
00:07Geographically located in the northern part of Halmahera Island,
00:11which borders directly on the Pacific Ocean to the north,
00:15The Sulawesi Sea to the west, the Halmahera Sea to the east, and the Morotai Strait to the south.
00:21With an area of around 2,330 square kilometers and inhabited by approximately 75,000 people, this is Indonesia's outermost island in the north.
00:34The island was a silent witness to the Second World War, and is also home to several rare species that adorn this island.
00:44Not only that, this island is also famous for its stunning natural beauty.
00:51Welcome to Morotai.
01:02Morotai is the result of the expansion of North Halmahera Regency,
01:07which was inaugurated on October 29, 2008.
01:11In the past, this place was used as a Japanese and American military base during World War II.
01:21And because of that, some visitors or local residents still often find remnants of the war.
01:29Then the remains of World War II were found,
01:34collected and stored in a historical museum called the World War II Museum for historical tourism purposes.
01:41Morotai is not only famous for its historical events.
01:57This island, which is covered with tropical trees, is a reflection of the natural beauty of this island.
02:04This island is even nicknamed the Pearl of the Pacific.
02:10This nickname was given because of its amazing natural beauty.
02:15This island is surrounded by approximately 33 small islands around it.
02:20Of these 33 small islands, 7 are inhabited and 26 are uninhabited.
02:27Which is decorated with dense tropical forests, white sandy beaches, clear sea water and enchanting underwater views.
02:39There are some very interesting places here, such as glass water beach, Dodola island, and Galela beach.
02:48These beaches have a very amazing beauty.
02:51But it doesn't stop there.
02:58This island is also home to several rare species that are still well preserved.
03:05And one of the most famous rare species of Morotai is the Morotai ribbon bird.
03:10This bird is characterized by its brightly colored feathers, with a combination of blue, black, red and green.
03:22And its loud and melodious voice is often heard in the forests of Morotai Island.
03:31Apart from the Morotai ribbon bird, there are also several other types of rare birds,
03:36such as the Morotai white-eye and the Morotai honey bird.
03:40Apart from bird species, this island also has rare species of other types of animals.
03:47And one of the most interesting is the Morotai dwarf cuscus.
03:52This marsupial animal has a small body size, with grayish brown fur.
03:58The Morotai dwarf cuscus lives in trees and is active at night.
04:03Then, in the waters, this island is famous for the beauty of its exotic coral reefs.
04:12And at the same time, it is home to various types of beautiful and rare fish, such as seahorses.
04:18Seahorses are a unique species of fish and have a distinctive body shape.
04:23This seahorse can be found in almost all of the southern areas of Morotai Island.
04:30Next the shark walks.
04:32This shark has a distinctive feature, namely its pectoral fins which resemble legs, so it looks like it is walking on the seabed.
04:41This walking shark can be found in special waters in Berebere, precisely in the Kokoya Island area, South Morotai sub-district.
04:49And finally, the turtle.
04:54Turtles are protected marine animals and have an important role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem.
05:01Turtles are often found in the Tilei area because there is also a turtle hatchery there.
05:10But unfortunately, not all of Morotai's rare species are well known and documented.
05:17There is still much research that needs to be done to reveal more about the biodiversity on this island.
05:26Of the several species on this island, some may not have been identified or may even be threatened with extinction.
05:33Due to habitat loss and poaching.
