Abstract

‘The Return for Return’ reflects the idea of bringing back the original communities of tropical rainforest that are rich in biodiversity which eventually will benefit our current and future generation. To achieve this, three comprehensive approaches are established to handle this complicated and sensitive site involving. First, the in-situ and ex-situ conservation – the most appropriate action to be executed towards the whole site as this is a gazetted forest reserve. Second, involves rehabilitation of disturbed areas in particular along the forest perimeter to encourage regeneration as well as being a buffer to protect the forest core. Third, calls for enhancement of forest profile by managing wilderness for luxuriant vegetation and wildlife habitation as well as scenic corridors. As the forest is one of the Klang Valley’s green lungs bounded by residential and industrial areas, it is also designed and managed to serve the public as an integrated function of recreation, education and research. Among interesting activities proposed are nature experimental field and a trail system for jungle trekking designed using durable materials blending well with the natural context.
