Bali Pandawa Beach is located in Kutuh Village, South Kuta District, Badung Regency; around 3 km from

the famous Nusa Dua area and Uluwatu Temple. In the past, this beach was hidden behind hill so it was
called Secret Beach. Pandawa Beach has a stunning panorama with serene and quiet atmosphere. When
entering the beach area, we will be amazed by beautiful panorama of high cliff, flanking the road along
1.5 km. When we pass through the new access to Pandawa Beach, we will be provided a complimentary
amazing view of white sandy beach with Indian Ocean just in front of it. On the way down to the beach,
we will discover several caves with beautiful ornament of white stone statue taking the inspiration of
Panca Pandawa (5 big brothers from Mahabaratha epoch)

Biodiversity :

Biodiversity is the sum of all the different species of animals, plants, fungi and microbial organisms living
on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live. Biodiversity describes how much variety an
ecosystem has, in terms of resources and species, and also genetically within species. There are 3 types
of biodiversity ; species diversity, genetic diversity and ecosystem.

1. Species Diversity

Species diversity is the number of different species that are represented in a given community. It
consists of three components: species richness, taxonomic or phylogenetic diversity and species
evenness. Species richness is a simple count of species, taxonomic or phylogenetic diversity is
the genetic relationship between different groups of species,whereas species evenness
quantifies how equal the abundances of the species are.

2. Genetic Diversity

Genetic diversity describes how closely related the members of one species are in a given
ecosystem. In simple terms, if all members have many similar genes, the species has low genetic
diversity. Because of their small populations, endangered species may have low genetic diversity
due to inbreeding. This can pose a threat to a population if it leads to inheritance of undesirable
traits or makes the species more susceptible to disease. Having high genetic diversity helps
species adapt to changing environments.

3. Ecosystem Diversity

A region may have several ecosystems, or it may have one. Wide expanses of oceans or deserts
would be examples of regions with low ecological diversity. A mountain area that has lakes,
forests and grasslands would have higher biodiversity, in this sense. A region with several
ecosystems may be able to provide more resources to help native species survive, especially
when one ecosystem is threatened by drought or disease.
