KlappentextIts flora and fauna is just as peculiar and extraordinary as its geography. Situated between Borneo and New Guinea, the island of Sulawesi forms the bridge between Asia and Australia, between the realm of the primates and that of the marsupials. On both of his journeys to the north of the 174,600 km2 hot spot for insular biogeography, author and photographer Michael Grünwald has encountered forest gremlins, black crested macaques and the resilient, armoured coconut crabs. His expedition to catch a glimpse of the rare, extremely shy babirusa was a race against time and rain. His dives along tropical reef edges and in between the roots of mangrove trees resulted in strange encounters with perfectly adapted life forms that pay tribute to the incredible diversity of species.
The territory between the islands around Bunaken, the lush reserve of the Tangkoko rainforest, the hard-to-reach Adudu Nantu special reserve, and the colourful Togian Archipelago in the middle of Tomini Bay, is guarded as Indonesia¿s treasure trove of unique life which cannot fail to amaze and deeply impress and must be preserved.
