The name Indonesia derives from the Latin
Indus, and the Greek nesos, meaning
"island".The name dates to the 18th century,
far predating the formation of independent
Indonesia.In 1850, George Earl, an English
ethnologist, proposed the terms Indunesians
— and, his preference, Malayunesians — for
the inhabitants of the "Indian Archipelago or
Malayan Archipelago". In the same
publication, a student of Earl's,
James Richardson Logan, used Indonesia as a
synonym for Indian Archipelago.
ETYMOLOGY
 Geography of Indonesia

5 Major Islands and 33

Provinces.

2 Oceans and 2
Continents

The Territory

400 volcanoes, of which

100 are active

This strategic position has always influenced the cultural,

social, political and economic life of the country.
BIOTA & ENVIRONMENT

•Indonesia's size, tropical climate, and archipelagic

geography, support the world's second highest level
of biodiversity (after Brazil),[and its flora and fauna is
a mixture of Asian and Australasian species.
•Indonesia is second only to Australia in terms of total
endemic species, with 26% of its 1,531 species of bird
and 39% of its 515 species of mammal being endemic
•Indonesia's high population and rapid
industrialization present serious environmental issues,
which are often given a lower priority due to high
poverty levels and weak, under-resourced governance

 CLIMATE AND WEATHER
The climate changes every six
months. The dry season (June to
September) is influenced by the
Australian continental air masses; while
the rainy season (December to March)
is the result of the Asian and Pacific
Ocean air masses.
