It is a shame that even in the surroundings of the park there are oil palm plantations and the villagers continue to cut down the forest to plant more. I do not know which are the competent authorities to take charge of this case. It is a complaint and I want to make it public. I was walking along the paths of the jungle and camping for several nights around the village. The photos that I show you below are large amounts of jungle cut down in the heart of the jungle to plant oil palm. I am a tourist and I found the situation very sad, which is why I want to tell you about it here. The other problem that I have also noticed is the villagers and people walking through the jungle at night with powerful flashlights, a fact that in my opinion is aimed at illegal hunting of wildlife. I invite all the people of Malaysia to be more aware of the importance of natural resources and wildlife in danger of extinction.

Spent 5D4N at Taman Negara with our mighty Grade 7 & 8 students for their excursion, and what an experience it was! This ancient rainforest is rich in biodiversity, offering a chance to see incredible flora and fauna up close. Expect daily trekking, a fair share of leeches (part of the adventure!), and a truly humbling experience being immersed in nature. The accommodation was great, with no complaints at all. Everything was well-organized, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. Definitely worth revisiting for anyone looking to experience the beauty and challenges of Malaysia’s tropical wilderness!
