Overview
"One perceives a forest of jagged, gnarled trees protruding from the surface of the sea, roots anchored in deep, black mud, verdant crowns arching toward a blazing sun. Here is where land and sea intertwine, where the line dividing ocean and continent blurs, in this setting the marine biologist and the forest ecologist both must work at the extreme reaches of their disciplines."
- Klause Rutzler and Ilka C. Feller, Scientific American, March 1996.
IMAGINE A TRAIL that takes you back in time and confronts you will wildlife and plants that have been around longer than mankind. If you're still operating under misguided assumption that the Malaysian countryside is all about paddy fields, coconut trees and rainforest, this well-researched trail designed by us with change your mind very quickly.
The mangrove forest literally live in two worlds at once, acting as the shake-hand point between the rainforest and sea. Swamp ecosystems have traditionally been sustainably managed by local populations for the production of food, medicines, tannins, fuel wood, and construction materials. Learn how the forest maintains a healthy coastal ecosystem by nursing juvenile fish, crabs, shrimps, and mollusks. Additionally, manatees, crab-eating monkeys, fishing cats, monitor lizards, sea turtles, and mud-skipper fish also thrive in the swamp.
