The Raja Musa Peat Swamp Forest Reserve is a forested wetland area which covers approximately 23,000 ha.  For the past few years, approximately 1000 ha of this area has degraded due to cleared, burnt and drained for agricultural activities and has resulted released of greenhouse gases which contributes to climate change.

 

To restore the degraded forest area to its closest natural condition, GEC and Selangor State Forestry Department are working together with other partners to improve the water management and replanting of tree seedlings through Raja Musa Rehabilitation Programme. However, rehabilitation activity alone will not work without involvement of community/volunteers.

 

Hence, GEC is organising a half day tree planting activity in conjunction with World Wetlands Day 2011, to raise awareness on the importance of wetland values and benefits to us, the public. We need 50 volunteers to help us to 800 Mahang and Tenggek Burung tree seedling.
