Moyo Island
Moyo (older spelling Mojo) is an island off the north coast of Sumbawa Island, in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia.
It has an area of 349 km2 and is about 8° south of the equator.
The island rises 648 metres (2,126 feet) above sea level, and its centre is composed mainly of savannah and some strands of the forest.[citation needed]
The island is divided in two administrative villages (desa): Labuhan Aji in the south and Sebotok in the north. Both are within Labuhan Badas district.
In 2022 there were 1333 households and 4,200 inhabitants, distributed in 6 villages.[citation needed]
Fishing and farming are the most prevalent occupations and are not mutually exclusive - most farmers also fish, and reciprocally. A few people have small businesses and deal with tourism services. Very few work in the local government as civil servants.
The most frequent crop is cashew; there are also coconut, mango, lebui beans (Cajanus sp.), upland rice, srikaya, corn and sesame.
On September 29, 1986, Moyo Island was declared as a conservation area (Moyo Island Hunting Park) for the Buru Park (22,250 hectares (54,980.9 acres) or 22,537.90 hectares (55,692.4 acres)[citation needed]) and the Marine Nature Tourism Park (6,000 hectares (14,826.3 acres)). The area is managed by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Center of West Nusa Tenggara. This area is home to macaques, wild cattle, wild pigs, barking deer, deer (Cervus timorensis) and several varieties of birds.
