Lorentz National Park (2.35 million

Lorentz National Park (2.35 million ha) is the largest protected area in South-East Asia. It is the only protected area in the world to incorporate a continuous, intact transect from snowcap to tropical marine environment, including extensive lowland wetlands. Located at the meeting-point of two colliding continental plates, the area has a complex geology with ongoing mountain formation as well as major sculpting by glaciation. The area also contains fossil sites which provide evidence of the evolution of life on New Guinea, a high level of endemism and the highest level of biodiversity in the region.

Is Lorentz Páirc Náisiúnta (2,350,000 heicteár) an chosaint is mó san Oir-Dheisceart na hÁise. Is é an limistéar amháin cosanta ar fud an domhain chun leanúnach, traschrios slán a ionchorprú ó snowcap leis an gcomhshaol muirí teochreasach, lena n-áirítear bogaigh lowland fairsing. Suite ag an gcruinniú-phointe de dhá colliding plátaí ilchríochach, tá an limistéar geolaíocht casta le foirmiú sliabh leanúnach chomh maith le sculpting mór ag glaciation. Tá suímh iontaise a sholáthraíonn fianaise ar éabhlóid na beatha ar Nua-Ghuine, leibhéal ard de endemism agus an leibhéal is airde na bithéagsúlachta sa réigiún an cheantair chomh maith.
