West Malaysia has elephants, tapir, seladang, tiger and the Sumatran rhinoceros among its fauna, and a wealth of flowering plants – some 8000. The author spent a year attached to the Federal Game Department, with the task of surveying all likely areas for national parks in order to preserve a representative selection of this remarkable wildlife. His report to the Game Department, of which this is a summary, proposed seven major reserves – one national park (already in existence) and six national monuments.
