Formerly known as the Spice Islands, Indonesia stands at
the crossroads of trade between Asia and Australia. The nearly 14,000 islands
that make up Indonesia stretch 3,200 miles along the equator in the Pacific
Ocean. These tropical islands are home to many types of wildlife including
tigers, elephants, tropical birds and komodo dragons. Indonesia has the fourth
largest population in the world. The majority of the population lives on Java
and Bali where the land is fertile. Coffee, tea and rice are grown on the
islands; rubber and palm oil are also cultivated. Indonesia is the 10th
largest oil producer and the third largest tin producer in the world. Although
nearly 90 percent of Indonesia’s people are Muslim, they represent a variety of
ethnic groups, including Malay, Japanese, Chinese and Indian. Maintaining unity
in far-flung diversity is the greatest challenge for Indonesians. Escalating
tensions between the Muslim and Christian communities have resulted in increased
violence in some areas of Indonesia. Batik, a traditional Indonesian
handicraft, is made by creating designs on cloth with molten wax. When the cloth
is dyed, the wax preserves a white pattern. Men and women may wear a batik
sarong, a long cloth wrapped around the waist, on formal occasions.
