Over 130 million years in age and encompassing 300,000 hectares, this tropical paradise is home to a vast number of species of animals and plants, many of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. In fact, scientific studies indicate that the pristine Belum-Temengor Rainforest, which remains as one of the largest untouched forest reserves in Peninsula Malaysia, hold enormous potential for the discovery of more biological treasures. With this in mind the Pulau Banding Foundation (PBF) was founded. A non-profit and non-political organization, PBF aims to promote sustainable development of the rainforest ecosystem of the Belum-Temengor Rainforest Complex. Read More
