Togian Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Togian (or Togean) Islands is the name for an archipelago of 56 islands and islets, located in the Gulf of Tomini, off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Formed by volcanic activity, the islands are covered by lush rainforest and surrounded by ancient coral reef formations, which provide habitat and breeding areas for hawksbill turtle, Green Turtle and the Dugong. The Togian Macaque is found in the islands' forests. The Togian Hawk-owl, discovered in 1999, is endemic to the islands.
There are 37 villages on the islands.
