Makira

Makira (sometimes spelled San Cristobal or San Cristóbal) is the largest island in the Solomon Islands' Makira-Ulawa Province. With a population of 55,126 people as of 2020, it is the third most populous island after Malaita and Guadalcanal. East of Guadalcanal and south of Malaita, the island is located. Kirakira is the largest and capital city. It is also one of the most beautiful island in Solomon Islands.

BirdLife International has designated Makira island, an 182,550 ha stretch of mostly forested territory spanning the island's eastern half, as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports populations of several vulnerable or unique bird species. The site stretches from the island's rocky cliffs to the center Bauro Highlands, including the Warihito and Raro River catchments, reaching an altitude of 1,200 m and mostly consisting of tropical rainforest. With steep-sided valleys, numerous streams and waterfalls, and little perched floodplains, the environment is rough. Logging, invasive species, and human population expansion are all potential environmental risks.
