This region hosts remarkable biodiversity, including hundreds of unique bird species and the rare tree kangaroo. The island's topography features the dramatic Snow Mountains range, containing Puncak Jaya, the highest peak between the Himalayas and Andes. The Indonesian portion of New Guinea contains vast natural resources, including the world's largest gold mine, Grasberg.
