Many endangered species inhabit the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) region and its surroundings.

This is recorded in the document *Rencana Induk Pengelolaan Keanekaragaman Hayati Ibu Kota Nusantara* (Master Plan for the Management of Biodiversity in the Nusantara Capital City) from the IKN Authority.

According to the document, the area within a 50-kilometer radius of IKN has high biodiversity, a habitat for more than 3,800 species of flora and fauna.

Of all the species identified in and around IKN, 440 are on the "red list" or are threatened/vulnerable to extinction based on The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria, with the following details:

* Critically endangered: 34 species
* Endangered: 105 species
* Vulnerable: 301 species

These threatened or vulnerable species are highly diverse, ranging from mammals, birds, turtles, crocodiles, fish, insects, marine invertebrates, fungi, and various types of plants.

Some examples of animals inhabiting IKN and its surroundings are proboscis monkeys, sun bears, pangolins, clouded leopards, rhinoceros hornbills, Brahminy kites, Irrawaddy dolphins, dolphins, dugongs, and sea turtles.

In light of this situation, the IKN Authority plans to designate 65% of the IKN area as a protected area to maintain environmental sustainability.
