Its mountainous terrain and dense vegetation make it an ideal home for maleo birds, anoas, hornbills, wild pigs, tarsier spectrum and giant fruit bats.
Giant fruit bats were a new species discovered in 1992. The major reason for establishing this area as a National Park was to protect the watershed and stop deforestation. The World Bank has lent its support to this program. Much of the forest is at comparatively low attitudes and correspondingly rich in fruit bearing plants and trees, such as wild durians and wild nutmeg.
