Malaysia - Royal Belum State Park

"Belum State Park is part of the Peninsular Malaysian Central Forest Spine (CFS) covering an area of 27,891 ha. It has been considered as the hotspot for biodiversity in Malaysia as it hosts diverse ecosystems and habitats for the many species of flora and fauna of which many of them are endemic, rare, vulnerable or otherwise threatened in Malaysia and the region. These augur well for environmental education of the ecosystems therein and scientific research in biodiversity not only for Malaysians but also those in the region and the World. It can be considered as another natural gift to the heritage of mankind."
