Structural and Tectonic Formations

The Letti Islands, also called the Lemola archipelago after the initials of its three main islands, Letti, Moa and Lakor, lie in southwest Maluku Province, Indonesia, part of the wider Maluku Islands. Together they cover about 564 square kilometers and belong to the Banda Sea Islands moist deciduous forest ecoregion; Letti itself is marked by mountain ridges, while Moa, the largest and most populated island, is the site of the main settlement, Tiajur. The islands support rice, coconut and tobacco cultivation, animal husbandry and fishing, and their population has grown from about 16,700 in 2010 to an estimated 32,900 by mid-2025.
