The Jedda Cave is localized to east center of the island, in a National Park, eastern Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Good’s biogeographic zone 18 from Paleotropical region (Good 1974). The region climate is of tropical monsoon (Am), characterized by wet and dry seasons (Kottek et. al. 2006) and temperatures vary little throughout the year, with the highest reaching 28 ° C in March and April, while the lowest temperature is 22 ° C in August (Grimes 2001; Meek 2001).

The cave is a plateau formed on limestone and phosphate with 240 m long and 22 m deep, where there is a meandering stream passage in basalt contact with water erosion in some areas. In one place in the cave there are soft mud “ stalagmites ” with central drip holes have built up beneath these muddy stalactites. The collapse dolines result from the roof of a basement and some dolines contain open entrances to caves (Grimes 2001; Humphreys 2014).
