Indonesia has many beautiful tourist objects. One of them is Sembilang national park. It is awetland that has a wide range of forest ecosystems. In this national park, there are at least four
distinct ecosystems include peat swamps, mangrove forests, freshwater swamps, and mud land,
Administratively, this is an area that became part of the district Banyuasin and has been named
as a national park since March, 19th 2003.
This area is called the Sembilang because there are so many Sembilang fish or plotosus canius
called in Latin. In Banyuasin peninsula, there is the east coast of South Sumatra and this is the river
which is really suitable for water birds. Wet soil conditions and bordered by mangrove forest
are the perfect location for the worm like molluscs, and crustaceans. That is why there are many
water birds living in there.
Some bird species include the Kuntul Cina (Egretta Eulophotes), Trinil Lumpur-Asia (Limnodromus
Semipalmatus), dan Pedendang Topeng (Heliopais Personata). They are some kind of 30 birds
migrating from their main habitat. Those birds live in the Banyuasin peninsula in order to avoid
the winter at their main location in Siberia, and the Korean Peninsula.
