Belum-Temengor: Ancient Rainforest Complex and Protected Landscape Geography in Perak
Mapping the forest ridges and lake archipelago of the northern Malay Peninsula
Spanning over 130 million years of ecological history, Belum-Temengor represents a massive, continuous block of tropical rainforest. The terrain transitions from high-altitude hill forests in the north to the flooded valleys and forested islands of Tasik Temengor. This complex serves as a vital water catchment and a sanctuary for diverse flora and fauna within the broader mountainous geography of the Perak region.
