Malaysia ’s national parks are a thrill for anyone who appreciates the natural world; how not to enjoy its primal forests, ranging from shoreline mangrove to mountaintop oak. One can walk for hundreds of miles in Malaysia under a continuous canopy of green, marvelling at an abundance of plant and animal species equalled by no other location in the entire world. A single plot of land could have more than eight hundred different species of trees alone in addition to a diversity of flowers, birds, ferns, and insects. 

This endlessly varied environment also shelters a host of the world's rarest and most remarkable animals: the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Clouded Leopard, Malaysian Tiger, the Sun Bear, the Monitor Lizard, and the Orang Utan, or "man of the forest," are just a few examples.

In order to safeguard its precious natural heritage, Malaysia has set aside many areas as parks and wildlife reserves. Together with natural forest management, conservation of wildlife, birds and marine life, nature reserves have been established through a network of protected areas. Almost one and a half million hectares of conservation areas are protected by legislation.

Make sure to take a trip to one of these wonderful parks and enjoy a harmony with nature. It’s certainly worth the trip!
