Managed with groundbreaking digital forestry where trees feature interactive QR codes, the geosite preserves over 147 species of medicinal plants. At dusk, guided eco-walks offer a once-in-a-lifetime chance to observe the nocturnal Belitung Tarsier—one of the world's smallest primates with captivating giant eyes.
