Meratus UNESCO Global Geopark offers a fascinating geological record of complex tectonic evolution beginning in the Jurassic period, 201 to 145 million years ago. The geopark is home to the oldest ophiolite series in Indonesia, and a significant presence of diamonds. This dynamic geological history has shaped the landscape and fostered rich biodiversity, including diverse varieties of orchids such as moon orchids and sugarcane orchids. The Bekantan long-nosed monkey, once endangered, is now the mascot of South Kalimantan Province. The geopark has played a central role in restoring mangrove ecosystems, crucial to the survival of the Bekantan species, which has led to the gradual recovery of their population.
