From the card:
Discover ancient rainforests, meandering streams, cascading waterfalls and pristine lakes. Blessed with year-round sunshine and rain, Malaysia is endowed with natural wonders.
The Malaysian Rainforest is the Number 1 most beautiful Tropical Rainforest in the World.
Being one of the best rainforest in the world it is also popular for being one of the top ranking biodiversity forest too. This forest is badly impacted by localization and is seriously endangered by human deforestation.(an average of 250,000 hectare of forest being lost annually). Reports said that if not taken care properly the Malaysian Rainforest can extinct completely till 2020. Now WWF Malaysia is doing good job by trying to revive its actual beauty and to maintain its status of being the most beautiful rainforest in the world. Malaysia's land surface was once almost entirely covered with forest.(source)
