The protected forest covers approximately 12,000 hectares of mountainous terrain dominated by the active Gamalama Volcano, which rises to 1,715 meters above sea level. This forest serves as a crucial watershed area that supplies fresh water to Ternate's population of around 200,000 residents while providing essential habitat for numerous endemic species of flora and fauna unique to the Wallacea biogeographical region. As a protected area, Hutan Lindung is managed under strict conservation regulations that prohibit logging and destructive land use practices, though it does accommodate limited ecotourism activities and scientific research.
