Save Kuala Langat South Forest Reserve 2011

The peat swamp functions as a reservoir for water, before releasing it to other drainage areas. It also supports unique flora and fauna. It acts as a sanctuary for several species of migratory birds from other continents and is well known for its population of jelutong, Dyera costulata. In Klang, the peat swamp in Raja Musa Forest Reserve covers 36,161 hectares, whereas in Kuala Langat there are two locations of swamps, namely the North and South Kuala Langat Forest Reserves covering 1,265 and 2,053 area of land respectively. Forest reserves and natural arboreta's are intended to preserve biological diversity and store forestry stocks for the future. Virgin forest can only be found in Kuala Langat at two locations, namely in Bukit Jugra Forest Reserve covering 40 hectares, and Compartment 26 of the South Kuala Langat Forest Reserve covering 174 hectares. The types of forest in both locations are coastal hill forest and peat swamp.
