Sorong Nature Park represents lowland tropical forest which is situated in the suburb of Sorong City, West Papua, Indonesia. This 945 ha forest becomes a nice place for tourists for inhaling fresh air in the forest, seeing green leaves and tall trees, as well as listening the birds singing on the branches and twigs of Damar (Agathis labilardieri) and Merbau (Instia bijuga).
Often, we can see the Bird of Paradise, Maleo (Macrocephalon maleo), Kakatua Putih Jambul Kuning (Cacatua galerita triton), and Nuri Merah Kepala Hitam (Lorius lory) in the forest. Anyhow, some interesting animals and plants also can be seen in the nature park, such as needle dragonflies, butterflies, blue tail monitor (Vanarus doreanus), mushrooms, orchids, etc.
Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Sorong merupakan kawasan hutan tropis di daerah dataran rendah yang terletak di pinggiran kota Sorong, Papua Barat. Hutan seluas 945 ha ini termasuk masih alami dan sering dikunjungi oleh wisatawan yang ingin merasakan segarnya udara di hutan, memanjakan mata dengan hijau dan rimbunnya pepohonan, serta riuhnya suara-suara burung yang bermain-main di dahan-dahan dan tangkai pohon Damar (Agathis labilardieri) dan Merbau (Instia bijuga) yang menjulang tinggi.
Di kawasan hutan ini dapat dijumpai berbagai jenis burung, seperti Cenderawasih, Maleo, Kakatua Putih Jambul Kuning dan Nuri Merah Kepala Hitam. Sayang sekali lensa saya tidak bisa menjangkau spesies yang hobi terbang ini. Namun begitu, di hutan ini juga dijumpai berbagai jenis hewan dan tumbuhan yang tidak kalah menarik, seperti capung, kupu-kupu, kadal ekor biru, laba-laba, jamur, anggrek, dan sebagainya.
Menarik sekali untuk mencari-cari hewan-hewan kecil itu di antara rimbunnya daun-daun hijau dan berseraknya serasah yang membusuk. Please enjoy!

yoi masbro…:D
did you enjoy tracking in the forest? which one is better, sea or forest? 😀
Hmmm ya..not so bad. My passion will say it’s better at sea 😀
Everything has pros and cons. What about you? :p
But, in the forest you can deeply breath the fresh air as much as you want while closing your eyes, hear the bird singing, smelling the leaves, soil and woods. How do I miss these things =)
Do forget that in the ocean especially when you’re diving on coral reef, you can deeply breath the fresh air as much as you can. It’s even much fresher than the one in the forest (filtered and compressed by the compressor :p). You can close your eyes and meanwhile you can listen to snapping shrimp’s shots, ‘fly’ like a bird in the forest of the sea, and see many wonderful colors that you can’t find them in the forest :p
ajiiipppp … luar biasa indah
