Danum Valley Conservation Area

Malaysia ranks among the planet’s most biodiverse regions.

Prehistoric jungle extends for hundreds of kilometers along the Malay Peninsula and Malaysian Borneo.

Millions of animals, birds, and insects thrive within the expansive rainforests.

Orangutans and pot-bellied proboscis monkeys swing from the trees, while civets and flying foxes conceal themselves in the undergrowth as hornbills soar overhead.

Plants of various shapes, sizes, and fragrances create an impenetrable wall of green surrounding the majestic trees. Hundreds of species remain undocumented and new to science.

However, Malaysia’s ecological melting pot isn’t confined to the land.

Numerous marine parks host Southeast Asia’s most exquisite coral reefs, turtle nesting sites, and diving paradises.

GoTravelDaily presents a collection of the 25 best national parks in Malaysia for the ecotourist, along with several conservation centers and nature reserves.
