Conflicting views on Malaysia’s national tree


MALAYSIA is one of the most megadiverse countries in the world. We are truly blessed with rich biodiversity, and the ecoregions in this country are home to many unique flora and fauna.

Tropical rainforests make up 59% to 70% of Malaysia’s total land area, of which about 12% are pristine. Perhaps unknown to most people, Malaysia is also home to the world’s fifth largest mangrove area totalling over half a million hectares.
