Description
Papua Pegunungan, also known as the Highlands of Papua, is a mountainous region located in the central part of Papua Province in Indonesia. This area is characterized by its stunning landscapes, dense forests, and diverse flora and fauna. It is home to several indigenous communities that have maintained their traditional ways of life, contributing to the region's rich cultural tapestry.
The geography of Papua Pegunungan features high peaks, deep valleys, and numerous rivers that flow through the region. The highest peak, Puncak Jaya, stands at 4,884 meters and is the highest mountain in Oceania. The region's unique climate, influenced by its elevation, creates a rich habitat for various species, some of which are endemic to this area.
In addition to its natural beauty, Papua Pegunungan is known for its vibrant cultures, including unique art forms and traditional ceremonies. The local economy is largely based on subsistence agriculture, although there is potential for sustainable tourism that can help preserve the environment and support local communities.
