Book Description
Wallacea region, includes Sulawesi, Moluccas, and Lesser Sundas, has its own unique and endemic animals, many of them are found nowhere else in the world. It took 7 years and went to 22 places for Riza Marlon, an Indonesian wildlife photojournalist, to expose more than 200 photos of mostly endemic animal species in trying to represent this region’s reputable biodiversity.
This book consists of Introduction to the great explorer, Alfred Russel Wallace with its well-known Wallace Line, the Wallacea Bioregion and a brief explanation about how this region is rich in endemic species. Animals photos are divided into their class and or genus, such as Bird, Insect and Spider, Herpetofauna (Reptile & Amphibians), Mammals, Macaque, and Tarsier. Informative text in chapters and caption in each photo are valuable to introduce those animals. Camera data information is also presented as a reference to photography enthusiasts.
Hopefully, people will eventually know and understand the richness of our exceptional animals and more photographers are called to document and share the diversity of Indonesian wildlife.

Book Description
This book is an effort to fulfill the literature vacancy on Indonesian snakes. The author is a biology scholar as well as Indonesia wildlife photographer. He compiled snake photos from his 30 years of photo documentation throughout Indonesia. Using photography as the main media serves a clear visual in order to differentiate various Indonesian snakes and make it easier to common people, even to children readers.
Snakes are grouped by the existence of fang. To make it easier, they are labeled with a green label for Aglypha – type of snakes without fangs, they are non-venomous; yellow label for Ophistoglypha, rear-fanged snakes, which generally have low or mild venom. The highly venomous snakes are Solenoglypha, orange label, the type of snakes with long, hinged fangs; and Proteroglypha, red label, the type of snake that have short, fixed front fangs.
Important data of each species is also presented includes size, habitat, food, reproduction and distribution. Brief information about snakes, the myth or fact of snakes, how to prevent snakebite and snakebite handling are also provided.

Book Description
Indonesia has around 350 species of snakes (10% of the world's snakes), and 77 of them are venomous. From this venomous snakes, 20 species are sea snakes. The rest of 57 species are venomous snakes on land. However, the number of snakes that can live on land, only 30 species can cause death or disability.
Based on publication from the Journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases in 2022, the most cases of venomous snakes bites happened in Java Island, with 135,000 cases/year. Which causes death, or disability and amputation
Most people don't know how to differentiate between venomous and non-venomous snakes, and since many cases of snake bites result in sudden death, people tend to think that all snakes are venomous and should be killed.
There are only a few books about snakes in Indonesia and are usually written by researchers with a scientific approach. The most popular books written by Dr. Jatna Supriatna in 1981, "Indonesian Venomous Snakes", has never been updated until now.
On the other story, Indonesian people interest have been increasing rapidly to keep snakes as pets, including the venomous snakes.
A photographic guide to identify snakes species in Indonesia, has never been around before. It is urgently required to have a practical and easy guide to understand by using snake photography.
