Pasoh Forest Reserve

Malaysia

This area is about 70km from Kuala Lumpur. "Pasoh Forest Reserve located in Simpang Pertang, Negeri Sembilan, is an internationally recognized site for tropical forestry research. For researchers, there is a well-equipped Field Studies Center there, called the Pasoh Forestry Research Centre (PFRC) managed by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM)." - https://www.rainforestjournal.com/pasoh-forest-reserve/

When we went nearly 40 years ago we encountered nobody else. It was a stunning site. However, it is surrounded by palm oil plantations, which have been replacing primary forest for years. I only hope this small reserve of appro. a few thousand ha. has survived intact.
