diversity. Animal Indonesia has a high diversity because of the large and shaped
tropical island [1]. This high diversity is caused by the Wallace Line, divides
Indonesia into two areas; Asian zoogeography zone, which is influenced by Asian
fauna, zoogeography and Australasia zone, is influenced by the fauna of Australia
[2]. Mixing of fauna in Indonesia is also influenced by the diverse ecosystems
include: beaches, sand dunes, estuaries, mangroves, and coral reefs.

Ecological problems that arise in Indonesia is the process of industrialization and
high population growth, which causes a priority to preserve the ecosystems [3].
This situation became progressively worse due to illegal logging activities, which
cause a reduction in forest area; while other problems, including the high rate of
urbanization, air pollution, waste management and sewage treatment systems also
play a role in the destruction of forests.
