		While 90 per cent of Indonesia's 210 million people are Moslem, the Moluccas' population is split evenly between Moslems and Christians.

		Soon after violence erupted in early 1999 in the Moluccas, the ICRC and the PMI provided medical care and food as well as material relief to people displaced by the violence in Ambon (South Maluku).
		The PMI has been put forward by the Indonesian government to coordinate the humanitarian assistance to the Moluccas, where a number of international and national humanitarian organizations are present.
		The nature of the violence makes it essential that the assistance be distributed in a neutral and impartial manner, to prevent the organizations from being identified as favouring one group or the other.

	- Introduction
		Compared with other parts of island southeast Asia, little is known of either the forests of the Moluccas (map 1), of indigenous patterns of forest use, or of the threats posed to both forest and people by increasing rates of deforestation.
		Indeed, from a scientific point of view, the Moluccas is one of the few places in the Indonesian archipelago where it is possible to find a complete altitudinal sequence of vegetation, and there are few places elsewhere in the tropics which provide a comparable range [Edwards, 1993: 3].
		No doubt similar data will eventually be forthcoming for the Moluccas, but despite prehistoric and historic modification, large tracts of Moluccan forest have remained more-or-less intact until relatively recently on the larger islands: that is on Halmahera, Seram, Buru, Yamdena and Sula.

	Papua Web: The Malay Archipelago (The Moluccas)
		Ternate, with the small islands in a line south of it, as far as Batchian, constitute the ancient Moluccas, the native country of the clove, as well as the only part in which it was cultivated.
		I believe, therefore, that this abolition of the spice trade in the Moluccas was actually beneficial to the inhabitants, and that it was an act both wise in itself and morally and politically justifiable.
		The island is coralline and sandy, and we must therefore believe it to have been separated from Gilolo at a somewhat remote epoch; while we learn from its natural history that an arm of the sea twenty-five miles wide serves to limit the range even of birds of considerable powers of flight.
