Republic of Indonesia (RI), is located between the Indian and Pacific oceans in Southeast Asia. Indonesia has land or sea borders with Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, the eastern part of Malaysia, The Philippines, Australia, Palau, and India (Andaman and Nicobar Islands). Even though it’s the 4th most populous country of the world, there are vast areas that are still wild and therefore Indonesia serves globally as an important region for biodiversity, on land and in the ocean.
