Kalimantan Timur, also known as East Kalimantan, is a province located on the island of Borneo in Indonesia. It is bordered by the provinces of Central Kalimantan to the south and North Kalimantan to the north, as well as the Sulawesi Sea to the east. The capital city of Kalimantan Timur is Samarinda, which is situated on the Mahakam River and serves as an important economic hub for the region.
The province is rich in natural resources, including timber, minerals, and oil. Its lush rainforests are home to diverse wildlife, including the endangered orangutan. Kalimantan Timur is known for its beautiful landscapes, featuring mountains, rivers, and vast stretches of forest. The region is also inhabited by various indigenous tribes, each with its unique culture and traditions.
In recent years, Kalimantan Timur has been increasingly recognized for its environmental significance and efforts in conservation. The government, along with various NGOs, has implemented programs aimed at preserving its natural heritage while balancing economic development. With plans to relocate the capital of Indonesia to East Kalimantan, the region is expected to gain further importance in the national landscape.
