Conservation

Endau Rompin

Measures have been drawn up to conserve the natural beauty of the Endau-Rompin Forest. It is also home to the endangered Sumatran rhinoceros and conscious efforts have been taken to conserve the existence of this species. Conservation in simple terms means proper management of the forest so that it can be sustained over future time.

The conservationof Endau-Rompin is crucial because it serves as a catchment area for the rivers of Endau and Rompin. Many rare species and plants have also been found here. Because of so many factors, the government has gazetted Endau-Rompin to be the second national park in Malaysia. This ensures the protection and conservation of Endau-Rompin for many years to come.

 

Volcanic Crystals

Endau Rompin

Quartz crystal ignimbrite can be seen on the surfaced at many points along the rapids of Sungai Endau. Ignimbrite has a spectacular genesis as it is volcanic but not of the lava kind. The formation is known as "ash flow eruption". This is the most violent type of volcanic convulsion. During an eruption, hot gas is released from the earth.

The high temperature gas carries sand-sized crystals of quartz and shards of glass, fragments of pumice and larger pieces of pre-existing rock. Eventually the heavier particles would begun to settle, after retaining enough heat to weld themselves together.

 

 

Landscape

 

The Endau-Rompin landscape is a contiguous area of hilly sandstone-capped country with lush vegetation that is virtually untouched. The area contains a unique assemblage of tropical lowland and hill forest with pristine rivers and varied wildlife.
