The Anambas Islands are renown for their tremendously rich biological diversity. It's not for nothing that the Anambas archipelago has been called an ecotourism paradise. Even recently, i.e. in 2002, as yet unknown species of molluscs, crustaceans and fish species were discovered in Anambas.

In fact, due to the territory's remoteness and still mostly pristine state of most of the islands, further biology surveys could very well reveal more unknown species of flora and fauna, terrestrial and marine.

The ecosystems in Anambas are home to rare species of primates, nearly-extinct species of fish and turtles and a considerable number of tree species, including mangrove trees. Even Rafflesia, famously known as the world's biggest flower, has been found to thrive in Anambas.

Anambas, Ecotourism hotspot

Other animals that can be found in and around Anambas are sea birds, reef fish such as grouper and Napoleon wrasse, dolphins, seacows, Hawksbill and Green turtles, as well as numerous benthic species, including stomatopods.

Given the region's enormous biodiversity and plentiful habitats, it's safe to say that Anambas may in the not-too-distant future well become a veritable ecotourism hub in Asia.
