Ujung Kulon National Park is the very first park in Indonesia that
is inaugurated as national park and later on it is recognised by UNESCO
as World Heritage of Nature in 1991. This national park is located in

small islands surrounding it such as Handeuleum Island and Peucang
Island, this park has an area of about 1,206 km2, in which 443 km2 of
it is sea. At first, the land where this park is now located was an
agricultural area which eventually destroyed and the population were
diminished because of Krakatau eruption on August 27, 1883. This event
causes this area back to forest.
