Sundaland is a biogeographical region in Southeast Asia that includes the Malay Peninsula, the Java Sea, Borneo, Sumatra, and surrounding islands. It is characterized by its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, which have developed due to its geological history and climate. Sundaland was once part of a larger landmass during periods of low sea level, particularly during the last Ice Age, allowing species to migrate freely between the islands and the Asian mainland.
