The Yapen Strait separates Yapen and the Biak Islands to the north. It is in Cenderawasih Bay off the north-western coast of the island of New Guinea. To the west is Mios Num Island across the Mios Num Strait, and to the east Kurudu Island. Off the southeast coast of Yapen are the Amboi Islands and to the southwest are the Kuran Islands. It is populated with communities of Yobi, Randowaya, Serui, and Ansus. Its highest point is {{convert|1,496|m|ft|abbr=off}}. First recorded sighting by Europeans is by Spanish navigator Álvaro de Saavedra who landed on 24 June 1528 when trying to return from Tidore to New Spain. It was then charted as Paine within the Islas de Oro (Golden Islands in Spanish) as they called the present day Schoutens. In 1545 it was visited by Íñigo Órtiz de Retes on board of galleon San Juan.[2] EcologyThe island has been designated the 'Japen rain forests' ecoregion by the World Wildlife Federation for its unique bird life and flora. Two protected areas cover a third of the island, whose population is growing with subsequent clearance of forest for planting and firewood.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=History of expeditions in Papua Indonesia|url=http://www.papua-insects.nl/history/history.htm |publisher=The Papua Insects Foundation|accessdate=2008-04-26}} {{Papua-geo-stub}}2. ^Coello, Francisco "Conflicto hispano-alemán" Boletín de Sociedad Geográfica de Madrid, t.XIX. 2º semestre 1885, Madrid, p.234,239,309,310,315,319 3. ^http://worldwildlife.org/ecoregions/aa0108 4 : Yapen Islands|Islands of Western New Guinea|Cenderawasih Bay|Landforms of Papua (province) |
