Kuala Selangor Nature Park: An important destination for environmental education and ecotourism

The Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP), also known as Taman Alam, is a large nature sanctuary, being established since 1987 and consisting of 200 hectares of mangroves and secondary coastal forest. The park is one of the main attractions of Kuala Selangor, located at the base of Bukit Melawati. It was originally part of a greater tract of primary coastal forest, but land reclamation works have claimed all but this piece of land, now the park. KSNP provides good environment for research, ecotourism, birding, education, etc. Mangrove planting regularly done by volunteers. 10 yra old Iman from Sekolah Seri Selangor Subang Jaya learned a lot about nature at KSNP.
