The wildlife in Bali is characterized by the Wallace Line, an imaginary line that separates the Asian landmass from the Australian landmass. Bali is located on the west side of the line while the island of Lombok in on the other side.

The island of Bali was once covered with dense forest. Although thick jungle still exists in some parts of the island and are protected, much of Bali has today been turned to agriculture and plantation land, with large tracts of rice fields, coffee and cocoa plantations. The volcanic soil of Bali makes for fertile land capable of sustaining a rich variety of flora and fauna.

Among the animals in Bali, perhaps the most ubiquitous is the long-tailed macaque, often seen foraging by the roadside and around some temples such as Uluwatu.

There are a number of endangered species on the island, including the black-winged starling, found in deciduous forests in northwest Bali. The waters around Bali also teem with life. The coast of Bali is ringed with coral reefs that sustain a huge variety of marine life. As such, there are snorkelling and diving sites worth checking out, for diving enthusiasts.
