Indonesia · The Moluccan island groups
Maluku
Island-by-island records across the eastern archipelago.
Landscape & scope
An island-specific view.
Wallacea’s deep-water geography helps explain why an archipelago-wide label is too coarse for a species account. This navigation group also includes Aru; it is an editorial geographic grouping, not a single biogeographic unit.
Included here
Maluku and North Maluku, including the Aru Islands for this geographic index.

These guides describe documented environments in the wider Maluku region. They do not assign every listed species to every habitat or protected site.

Behind the occurrence.
