	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Halmahera rain forests (AA0106)
		The eastern half of the island was part of an outer arc on the Philippines tectonic plate and consists of sedimentary and intrusive igneous rocks.
		The most luxuriant rain forests occur in northwest Morotai and north Halmahera, as opposed to the south arm of Halmahera, which is in the rain shadow of north Halmahera and Bacan.
		With nearly 80 percent of its original forest still intact, the Halmahera Rain Forests [AA0106] ecoregion is largely free of intense habitat conversion threats.

		Of the four peninsulas of Halmahera the northern and the southern are reckoned to the sultanate of Ternate, the north-eastern and south-eastern to that of Tidore; the former having eleven, the latter three districts.
		The distance between the extremities of the northern and southern peninsulas, measured along the curve of the west coast, is about 240 m.; and the total area of the island is 6700 sq.
		It was circumnavigated by one of their vessels in 1525, and the general outline of the coasts is correctly given in their maps at a time when separate portions of Celebes, such as Macassar and Menado, are represented as distinct islands.

		Halmahera Eclectus Parrots kept in captivity may be fed plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables along with a good basic pellet diet or seed mix.
		The Halmahera Eclectus Parrot is bred commonly in captivity.
		Because female Halmahera Eclectus Parrots will often sit on their eggs awkwardly or forcefully and accidentally break them, a slanted or L shaped nesting box is recommended, so the birds have room to position themselves better.

		It was the core of a larger region, called Moro, that included the island and the coastline of Halmahera closest to Morotai to the south.
		The Muslim states on Ternate and Halmahera resented the outpost for its proselytising activities, and managed to drive the mission from the island in 1571, as a part of a larger Portuguese retreat in the region.
		Early in the century most of the population was moved to Dodinga, a small town in a strategic spot on Halmahera's west coast.

		Halmahera is a region of Indonesia that for some reason has been very rarely visited by tourists never mind divers.
		The last diving liveaboard I know of that came through this region was back in 1998 with a man I was to track down with sea charts to get a few pointers on where to and not to head for.
		Many people talk about Halmahera with many different stories, I have heard talk about the region being heavily impacted by fish bombing which kills all surrounding reef leaving fields of nothing but broken coral rubble.

	Halmahera
		Ternate, an island off the west coast of Halmahera in northern Maluku, was once the seat of an important kingdom which prospered from the spice trade.

		Morotai Island, just off Halmahera's northern arm, was an important air-base during world War II, first for the Allies and later for the Japanese until its recapture near the end of the war.

		This ecoregion encompasses the mountainous rain forests of Halmahera, Morotai, Obi, and other islands in the northeastern Indonesian archipelago.

		It appears to be much rarer on Halmahera and Bacan (if it occurs on these islands at all) than it is on Morotai: of 27 museum specimens traced for this study, 26 are from Morotai (taken by at least four different collectors) and one has no data.
		During three weeks on Halmahera in 1992 none was observed, leading to the assumption that it must be "an extremely rare bird" there (Lambert 1994a).
		On Halmahera in 1994 it was recorded twice in primary forest and once in logged forest, always below 120 m (Fuller undated), although Coates and Bishop (1997) gave an elevational limit of 450 m (the basis of which is now judged mistaken: K. Bishop in litt.

		Halmahera, by contrast, has earned his small piece of racing immortality, though for much of yesterday's race it seemed an unlikely outcome.
		Halmahera, meanwhile, had several runners in front of him on the stand rail, but there is something about this unusual 5-furlong race that fires him up, and his finishing kick was irresistible.
		Halmahera has now won a total of £152,000 over the busy course of 35 races and three seasons since joining Quinn's yard.

	The Islamicisation of Maluku, Indonesia
		During the early part of November 1999 the Christian community in Ternate, Tidore and South Halmahera were attacked and this resulted in at least 9 Christians slaughtered in Tidore, 29 Christians killed in Ternate and 9 Churches burnt.
		The Halmahera Evangelical Church reported that 2,190 Christians were killed (this has never been exposed in the Indonesian media) and at least 45,654 Christians became internally displaced persons.
		The high death toll from Halmahera is also a reflection of the remoteness of the island and the lack of presence (until recently) of any security forces.

		But then the raffle of the St Leger meeting's first betting extravaganza is easier to predict when the nine-year-old is in the field.
		For the last three years, Halmahera has ambled out of the stalls, settled himself and then produced a teeth-chattering burst down the stands side.
