Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park

Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park is a protected area in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia, named for local nationalist leader Nani Wartabone and established to conserve Sulawesi’s endemic forests and wildlife.

The park encompasses lowland and montane rainforest, river valleys and rugged interior terrain and supports populations of endemic mammals and birds characteristic of Sulawesi.

It functions as one of the island’s important reserves for biodiversity, holding species that are not found elsewhere on Java or Borneo.

The park sits in the interior of northern Sulawesi and is reached from regional towns and transport routes that serve the island’s northern provinces.

• Name and purpose: Named after Nani Wartabone, an Indonesian nationalist leader; the park protects a large, relatively undisturbed expanse of Sulawesi rainforest and endemic wildlife.

What to See #

• Lowland rainforest: Lowland rainforest zones containing river valleys and mixed dipterocarp forest that hold many of the park's larger mammals and nesting birds.
• Montane forest: Montane forest and upland ridges that provide habitat for endemic species and cooler, more rugged terrain for specialist flora and fauna.
