Everything about The East Melanesian Islands totally explained
The
East Melanesian Islands, also known as the
Solomons-Vanuatu-Bismarck moist forests, is a biogeographic region notable for its unique flora and fauna and species richness. The region is designated a
biodiversity hotspot by
Conservation International (CI), and one of the outstanding
Global 200 ecoregions by the
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). As defined by CI, the hotspot lies east and northeast of
New Guinea and encompasses some 1,600 islands with a land area of nearly 100,000 km², including the
Bismarck Archipelago,
Admiralty Islands,
Solomon Islands, and the islands of
Vanuatu. Politically, the hotspot includes parts of
Papua New Guinea (the Bismarck Archipelago, Admiralty Islands, and
Bougainville), and all of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
This hotspot includes a number of
ecoregions that make up the northeastern portion of the
Australasia ecozone. The East Melanesian Islands have many plants and some animals whose ancestors arrived from neighboring
New Guinea and
New Caledonia, but differ from those islands in that they were never joined to a
continent.
