Meru Betiri National park is a large natural reserve located on the southern coast of Jember Regency in East Java. It spans across 580 square kilometers of varying topography, including sandy, coastal plains, mangrove swamps, lush rainforests, and highlands of over 1.000 meters.

Meru Betiri is home to 29 species of mammals, including the Banteng, Javanese flying squirrel, leopard cat, dhole, wild boar, and Javan Muntjak, or barking deer. It is also habitat for what is said to be the last Javan Tiger, once thought to have been extinct.
