Conservation

The continued integrity of the park’s ecosystems/habitats needs to be maintained to continue being a successful conservation story. Selai River was slightly murkier, especially at Lubuk Merekek, where siltation was a little heavy. From early accounts of visitors and past photos, the Selai River was a lot more clear and beautiful just a decade ago. In Google Earth,  heavy logging activity having or currently taking place in the long strip of land that encompasses at least a kilometer wide on the opposite bank of the Selai River, running parallel with the access road, that for some reason was never included within the park’s boundaries. This large strip includes much of the prime lowland forest along the base of Gunung Tiong, now lost forever. The massive deforestation cannot be seen by visitors at the Endau Rompin Selai Base Camp, only from Google Earth.
