Nino Konis Santana National Park

關於

Nino Konis Santana National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional Nino Konis Santana; Tetum: Parke Nasionál Nino Konis Santa) is Timor-Leste's first national park. The park, established on 15 August 2007, covers 1,236 square kilometres (477 sq mi). It links important bird areas such as Lore, Mount Paitchau, Lake Ira Lalaro, and Jaco Island. The park also includes 556 square kilometres (215 sq mi) of the Coral Triangle, an underwater area which supposedly contains the world's greatest diversity of both coral and coral reef fish. Some of the rare birds protected by this park are the critically endangered yellow-crested cockatoo, the endemic Timor green-pigeon, the endangered Timor imperial-pigeon, and the vulnerable Timor sparrow.

The park is named in honor of the independence hero Nino Konis Santana, a former commander of Falintil who was born in Tutuala, a village within the borders of the national park.
