Description

Between Bali and Lombok runs the famous Wallace Line. Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist who lived from 1823 to 1913. He is recognized for independently forming the theory of evolution through natural selection. Throughout his lifetime of exploration and study, Wallace became the world’s foremost expert on the geographical distribution of animal species. Wallace was fascinated by the biodiversity in Malaysia and Indonesia, where in 1859 he charted to an exact physical boundary the separation between fauna which is native to Asia and that which is found in Australia. ‘The Wallace Line’ runs between Bali and Lombok and between Borneo and Sulawesi.
