Taman Negara is a living laboratory, and is an ideal setting for a discovery of new knowledge and providing opportunities for R&D
- In 2007, MoHE granted RM1.5 million top-down FRGS for UiTM’s Taman Negara Research Initiatives
- The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) as the main collaborator provided access for UiTM’s researchers to embark on R&D activities in Taman Negara
- Taman Negara Research Project Committee was established to enhance the coordination and monitoring of project implementation.
Aims
- to enhance scientific knowledge, educational, social, cultural and aesthetic values of biological diversity, and
- to promote awareness, biodiversity planning and management in order for biological diversity components to be managed in a sustainable manner
Location
UiTM-PERHILITAN Research Station
Kuala Tahan National Park is the largest national park in Peninsular Malaysia. It is famous for its rainforest, birds, and insects. The Park headquarters is at the southern tip of the Park directly across the river from the rapidly growing village of Kuala Tahan (4.3769555,102.3880494) through which most visitors enter the Park. Inside the Park are fairly easy boardwalk circuits with the option of traversing the longest rope walkway in the world through to serious 100km round trip hikes. Visitors can enjoy the river and the tropical rainforest perhaps see some of the bountiful wildlife, (though with so many visitors it's not always easy to see) and it's also home to fairly undisturbed indigenous tribes.
