Flora and Fauna

The Selai region of Endau Rompin is definitely more rugged and hilly than the Endau-Jasin area, which means there is little forest on flat ground; all the flatlands outside the park have been logged and turned into oil palm estates

.
The last 2 km stretch of road to Lubuk Merekek and Lubuk Tapah does pass under remnant lowland dipterocarp forest on flat ground, alongside the Selai River. Although this patch of flatland forest may not be totally undisturbed (from past human activities), it is still a very rare type of lowland forest . Here,birding would be excellent, under the crowns of huge rainforest trees interspersed amongst an extremely broken and uneven main canopy layer
.
The lowland forest on undulating terrain at Endau Rompin Selai is classified as Keruing-Red Meranti dipterocarp forest, with a typical canopy height of 25-30 meters above the ground, and emergents rising above that at 40-50+ meters tall. Big trees of Dipterocarpus, Shorea, Anisoptera, Koompassia malaccensis, Palaquium, Sindora, etc, can all be found here, examples of Mersawa (Anisoptera laevis) can still be found in the lowland forest alongside the Selai River, in association with numerous big Keruing (Dipterocarpus) trees. Slightly higher up in altitude, the hill dipterocarp forest comes in, with its characteristic Seraya (Shorea curtisii) trees.
