Malaysian Ecosystems Overview

Mangrove ecosystems in Malaysia provide important benefits. Mangroves act as buffers against storms, provide habitat for marine life, and trap nutrients. Tropical forests have multiple canopy layers that support a high biodiversity, including birds, monkeys, and snakes. They regulate climate and act as the planet's water pump. Less than 1% of tropical forests have been tested but they are a vital source of potential medicines. Both mangroves and tropical forests are found across Malaysia, such as the Straits of Malacca, Sulu Sea, and Tembeling River in Pahang.
