Assessment of Flora Diversity in Kenyir Terrestrial Ecoregion, Terengganu
Project summary:
The Kenyir watershed harbouring old growth dipterocarp forests that are home to all of Peninsular Malaysia’s extant large mammal species, including the critically endangered Malayan tiger. However, this man-made lake once suffered huge loss of biodiversity for allowing an earth-dam construction during 1980s. Therefore, plant diversity checklist must be updated to keep the information for future references.
