Be a responsible visitor and operator
As visitor our  tour operator to Taman Negara and other national parks of Malaysia, we have the privilege to enjoy the natural beauty of the nature and its flora and fauna inhabitants. With this privilege comes responsibility - to guard, care for and protect this fragile environment.

take nothing but memories,
leave nothing but footprints...

Our attitudes toward nature and their inhabitants determine how we treat them. When we make an effort to understand and appreciate them, we will learn to care for them. When we realize that flora and fauna take hundreds or even thousands of years to form, we will be careful not to damage or break them. When we learn that natures are sensitive to environment quality, we will be careful not to litter or allow logging everywhere.

Taman Negara ecosystems are constantly under attack from natural and human threats. It is harder to address natural threats but we can control our actions and choices so that we do not adversely affect the health of the rainforest environment.

Since its fully gazette as national park in 1980, the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Jabatan Perhilitan) in Malaysia has been overseeing the conservation of the ecosystems environment in Taman Negara. With the management of Jabatan Perhilitan, we hope Taman Negara's future is secure forever.

Please help us to educate, protect and preserve our last mother nature's treasure.
