Indonesia to have at least 47 types of natural ecosystem types, ranging from alpine ice in the mountains of Papua, a variety of wetland ecosystems, to the mangrove forests and peat swamps. “This type of ecosystem that dominated lowland wet tropical forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan are Dipterokarpa mixture (MDF) . This type of forest ecosystem which is the highest in the world, “said Ecology Experts from LIPI Dr. Herwint Simbolon confirmed in Jakarta.

In a study in West Kalimantan, reported 326 species of trees above the diameter of five centimeters in one hectare plot at the research that trees are at least 56-134 species attached epiphytic plants, he said.

There’s also the type of heath forest ecosystems to extreme environmental conditions with nutrient-poor soil and without the layers of topsoil and subsoil, but still have the 121-152 tree species in one hectare.

Indonesia, he said, also has a peat swamp forest in poor condition that not only nutrients, but extreme acid substrate, and thus tend to be anaerobic submerged, but still have 72-81 tree species per hectare. “This is still comparable to the mineral soil of tropical forests Wet mountains and forests of tropical wet mineral soil sub mountains in Java each have only 116 and 44 species per hectare, “he said.

Each of these ecosystem types, composition, characteristics, properties, functions and dynamics that differ from each other, he said. Indonesia, he said, had only 1.3 percent of total land area of the world, but has 17 percent of life on earth, where 11 per cent higher plants live in forests.

However, he lamented, wet tropical forests continue to experience problems such as illegal logging, forest fires, conversion to agriculture and settlements, until the drought.

Feeling tired for a four-hour journey from Jakarta to Ternate, gone already, so I was a Garuda Indonesia climbed Babullah Sultan arrived at the Airport. The exact location of the airport on the edge of the sea reminds me of when he was at Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali. Waves plus shore breeze that whispered as if to greet the passengers who got off the plane.

Gamalama arrogantly standing over there makes me more impressed. This mountain has become the icon of Ternate. Not surprisingly, Ternate was mentioned as a very beautiful city, surrounded by the sea and located at the foot of the towering mountain Gamalama.

The beauty that unfolds before the eye made me reluctant to depart from the airport. But this is just the beginning, may still be many other charms that will hypnotize me. So, I rushed to clean up any luggage. I immediately left the airport is situated about 5 km from the city center and toward the south of the island to visit one of the famous restaurant on the island, Floridas.

Located about 10 km from the city center, this restaurant offers a taste of eastern Indonesian cuisine. Various types of seafood dishes with incredible flavors presented, covered with a warm drink water mixed goraka pieces and fried banana walnut sauce, which is one of the specialty of Ternate, while enjoying the stunning view.

Other exotic objects that will leave you mesmerized the surrounding seascape Ternate. Small islands of green that looked across the ocean, also presents a beautiful panorama. Meanwhile, of Ternate city center will be seen the mountains or islands adjacent to the island Tidore Maitara.

Well, here you can also enjoy the beauty of sunlight when they want to move from the eastern horizon. This scenery can be seen with a beautiful view of the plateau south of Ternate. From here you will be satisfied with enjoying the sun rises from behind the Hiri Island located to the east of the island. That golden pink shine even more beautiful when the waves hit the swash and running to the shore.

From the spot, you can see the summit of Mount Tidore clearly. Mount Tidore maximum beauty can be seen in the morning. In the afternoon, the mountain is usually not seen because of thick fog wrapping. Gamalama peaks can also be seen from this place. Clearly visible at the top of the volcano that has spewed hot lava several times, it seems the lines of the former black hot lava flow. Line that resembles the tassel that hung from the top of each other Gamalama.

If you want to surround the city, various transportation modes to choose from. In Ternate, the various public transportation with a variety of routes is very easy to find. In fact, the number of intersections is attached plan public transit routes to facilitate travel of citizens and tourists.

Bali .. Island of the Gods .. familiar sounds good in Indonesia or abroad, one of the popular tourist destination which presented a beautiful natural hospitality and friendliness of the local population. As  the Indonesian people  i proud to have a recreational area that became a holiday destination by both local tourists and foreign tourists. I made myself go to the Bali experience really fun, places like spoiling the beautiful eyes that every day I always look at congestion and the density of vehicles in Jakarta, starting from scratch go to work to come back home. At first I was not expecting to go to Bali. Because the cost of the need to go there there were not a bit. But eventually I could also set foot on the island of Bali.

Kuta Beach
Arriving I was in Bali, it was my background inn Kuta beach, the famous beach with the beauty of his Sunset and Sunrise. A very profitable coincidence. Apparently what many in talking about is true, that the sunset of Kuta Beach and Sunrise have the beautiful, though many beaches in Bali which has a panoramic view that is not less beautiful in Kuta beach. Not far from the hotel where I was staying there kuta beach art market that sells souvenirs typical of many island areas. One bag of straw and cloth typical bali beach became a souvenir that is right for me even though I wanted to buy the others too. But I will follow the rules, not too much shopping, because there are many areas that must be visited. And more exciting.

Sukowati, Tampaksiring, Tirta Empul
After staying 1 night, me and the group moved toward the Gianyar district, Sukowati, A Traditional markets which is  selling souvenirs and  food, and all the typical things Bali area, and most things exciting  decent prices affordable for local tourist bags like me, an important we must dare to offer so we will not feel disappointed because of the price. And I did not forget presents for family and friends of course. it’s very exciting. you have to go there, if you go to Bali. Trust me.
Once satisfied shopping, continue to travel at other resorts. That was siring, also known Tampaksiring palace in which the Tirta Empul, sacred spring for the majority Hindu community is the local population. In addition to its cool weather was also beautiful with its natural beauty and beautiful, soothing forest green eyes, oh yes just to get to our area in Pura Tampaksiring require unique Bali shawl for men and women, for tourists who wear shorts, the fabric gave typical sarong bali. The purpose is to respect the sanctity of customs and Pura Tampaksiring.
