This video is about the Wallace Line. It was discovered by Alfred Russel Wallace, one of the biologists credited with working with Darwin in the Theory of Evolution. It is the starkest boundary of life on the planet. This observation was one of the early pieces of evidence in supporting the theory of plate tectonics.
Lombok, island, Nusa Tenggara Barat provinsi (province), Indonesia.It is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying due east of Bali across the Lombok Strait and due west of Sumbawa across the Alas Strait. To the north is the Java Sea, to the south the Indian Ocean.. The island, which has an area of 2,098 square miles (5,435 square km), is divided for nearly its entire length by two mountain chains.
The Wallace line runs through Indonesia in the coral triangle between Borneo and Sulawesi and down through the Lombok Strait which separates Bali and Lombok. Birds appear to mainly observe the line as many species do not fly over even narrow stretches of water and mammals are generally limited to either one side or the other.

In this imaginary line between Bali and Lombok, even when sea levels were lower, the sea stopped flora and fauna from moving between islands. The islands east of the Lombok Strait are part of Wallacea, and have wildlife of Asian and Australasian origin in this region. In the Lesser Sundas, there are many plants and animals that come from Asia
