West Bali National Park

West Bali National Park (*Taman Nasional Bali Barat*) is a protected area located in northwest Bali, covering around 190 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including rainforests, savannas, mangroves, coral reefs, and beaches. Established in 1941, the park plays a critical role in conserving Bali’s ecosystems and protecting endangered species, particularly the Bali Starling (*Jalak Bali*), a rare bird endemic to the island. Conservation programs within the park focus on breeding and releasing these birds to restore their population in the wild, making the Bali Starling a central symbol of the park's biodiversity and conservation efforts. The park is also home to various other wildlife, including deer, wild boars, macaques, and numerous bird species, and its marine areas around Menjangan Island are renowned for snorkeling and diving opportunities. Visitors can explore the park through guided hikes, which offer a chance to experience its rich flora and fauna while supporting sustainable ecotourism. To protect the environment, the park limits visitor numbers and emphasizes environmental education, allowing nature lovers to appreciate Bali’s natural diversity responsibly.
