They are located mainly in Wallacea, where the colonization of numerous oceanic islands from east and west has promoted the rapid evolution of new species through isolation, and in Papua, where the distinct vegetation types and secluded valleys have similarly led to rapid speciation। For those interested in finding new species, Endemic Bird Areas are not to be missed, but to catch up with all Indonesia’s endemic species will entail several visits, or many weeks traveling around the islands of Wallacea
