Wallace Line | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

The Wallace Line is a biogeographic boundary that separates the faunal realms of Asia and Australia, running through the Indonesian archipelago. It was first identified by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1859. The line marks a significant division in the distribution of land mammals and birds, with Asiatic species found to the west and a mix of Asian and Australian species to the east.
