The flora includes one native eucalypt, E. deglupta.
There are 8 national parks on the island, of which 4 are mostly marine.
The parks with the largest terrestrial area are Bogani Nani Wartabone with 2,871 km² and Lore Lindu National Park with 2,290 km².
Bunaken National Park, which protects a rich coral ecosystem, has been proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
