Let`s talk about the Jungle in Malaysia.

Malaysia is home to some of the most diverse and biologically rich rainforests in the world. The country is located in Southeast Asia and is made up of two main landmasses: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (located on the island of Borneo). The rainforests in Malaysia are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

The Borneo rainforest, located in East Malaysia, is one of the oldest and most biodiverse rainforests in the world. The forest is home to many endangered species such as orangutans, elephants, and the Rafflesia flower. It is also home to many indigenous groups who have lived in harmony with the forest for generations and have developed unique cultures, traditions, and ways of life.

Taman Negara is a national park located in Peninsular Malaysia, and it is one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world. It covers an area of over 4,300 square kilometers and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
The park was established in 1938 and is known for its biodiversity and natural beauty. It is home to many species of animals such as tigers, elephants, tapirs, and the Malayan gaur (a type of wild cattle), as well as a wide variety of birds and plants. It is also home to many indigenous communities who have lived in harmony with the forest for generations, and have developed unique cultures, traditions, and ways of life.
Taman Negara is a popular destination for ecotourism and adventure activities such as jungle trekking, camping, rafting, and bird watching. There are several trails and paths that visitors can take to explore the park, including the popular canopy walkway, which is suspended 130 feet above the ground and offers a unique perspective of the forest.
The park is also home to the longest suspension bridge in Peninsular Malaysia, the Sky Bridge, which spans across the Tembat River and offers a panoramic view of the forest.

The Kinabalu Park, located in Sabah state, East Malaysia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, Mount Kinabalu. It is also a biodiversity hotspot with thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world.
The Bako National Park, located in Sarawak, East Malaysia, is the oldest national park in Sarawak and known for its diverse ecosystems, including beaches, rainforests, mangroves, and swamps. It is also home to many primates, including the endangered proboscis monkey.

Many of these rainforests are under threat from logging, mining, and agriculture. Malaysia has set up many protected areas and conservation initiatives to protect the remaining rainforests and biodiversity, but more needs to be done to ensure their long-term survival.
