Malaysia hosts one of the best managed mangrove forests in the world, the Larut Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (LMMFR) in Perak. The Larut Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve gained its recognition due to its sustainable management through proper administration, zoning, controlled felling, yield regulation, protections and conservation of the mangroves. Established for almost 100 years, this forest has also contributed to the economic and social development of the community both locally and nationally. This article narrates the extent of mangroves in Malaysia with special emphasis on conservation and sustainable management of LMMFR.
