Just 70km northwest of Kuala Lumpur lies the 297 hectare Kuala Selangor Nature Park. Established in 1987, the Park was developed as an alternative to a proposed golf course and it is run by the Malaysian Nature Society for the Selangor State government.
Three habitats - secondary, mangroves and a brackish water lake - shelter a myriad of flora and fauna species. A santuary for special and interesting animals such as the silvered leaf monkey, mudskipper, pangolin, leopard cat and flying lizard, the Park is also popular amongst birders. Out of 168 species of birds, 66 are migratory birds, which include skrikes, kingfishers, pond herons, bee-eaters and many species of waders.
