-Today, only 7 percent remains of the hotspot’s original 1.5 million square kilometers of natural vegetation.
-Sundaland harbors more than 10,000 plant species, mostly in lowland forests
-Sixteen of the 210 mammal species found here are unique to the island

The CEPF organization has the following strategy to combat the destruction of Sundaland's biodiversity:

1. Enhance stewardship of forest resources at district level and below.

2. Empower civil society to organize in favor of conserving biodiversity.

3. Build alliances among conservation-minded groups in civil society and the private sector.

4. Assess impact of conservation interventions at district level and below.

Sundaland is currently in Stage 3 of the demographic transition model. The booming industrial economy, however, is having detrimental effects on the species rich ecosystems that define Sundaland. Increased commerical logging and tourist spots in hubs like Java and Bali have helped contribute to the disturbances that disrupt wildlife.

Sundaland is home to a wide variety of species, many of which are on the endangered or threatened list.

1. Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo Abelii)
- Arboreal (inhabit trees)
-Highly intelligent, able to use sticks to extricate seeds from Neesia fruit
-Low maturity rate, low reproductive rate
-Deforestation is the greatest threat to their survival

2. Rafflesia
-One of the largest blooming flowers in the world
-Emits a potent odor of rotten meat (to attract insects for sustenance)
-Vulnerable due to disturbance by tourists and collecting of flower buds for traditional medicinal practices

The explosive growth of industrial forestry has led to increased habitat loss and deforestation (due to slash and burn agriculture), which in turn has led to a decline in biodiversity.
