The Christmas and Cocos Islands tropical forests ecoregion (WWF ID: IM0110) covers forested areas of Christmas Island and North Keeling Island, two small seamount islands south of the Indonesian island of Java. The forests of these two islands share tree species of the Indo-Pacific and Melanesian types on nearby islands, the forests of Christmas Island and North Keeling Island are unique in how they reflect the effects of large populations of terrestrial red crabs (Gecarcoidea natalis). Because of the remoteness of the islands, there are many endemic species.[1][2][3][4]
