National parks in Indonesia

This is the list of the national parks of Indonesia.[1] Of the 54 national parks, 6 are World Heritage Sites, 9 are part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves[2] and 5 are wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar convention. A total of 9 parks are largely marine. Around 9% of the Indonesia surface are national parks (less than the 25% of Germany or the 33% of France).

The first group of five Indonesian national parks were established in 1980.[3] This number increased constantly reaching 41 in 2003. In a major expansion in 2004, nine more new national parks were created, raising the total number to 50.[4] Mount Tambora was added in 2015.[5] 3 more National Parks in Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Bangka Island were added in 2016.
