Timor is the largest of the Lesser Sunda Islands, which comprise the south-eastern part of the Indonesian Archipelago (Audley-Charles 1968).It is a non-volcanic island situated in the Outer Banda Arc which lies between the Sahul Shelf of Australia and the Sunda Shelf of South-east Asia (White et al. 2006).Timor-Leste (East Timor) occupies the eastern half of the island of Timor, encompassing an area of 14 875 km 2 (White et al. 2006).This note focuses on the easternmost part of Timor-Leste, east of the town of Lospalos, including the newly created Nino Konis Santana National Park, Timor-Leste's first national park.Fora description of the climate, geology and geomorphology of the area, see White et al.
