| Abstract: | Krau Wildlife Reserve (KWR) is unique for its diversity of habitats, fauna and flora found within such a compact area. Malaysian has been aware of the biological richness of KWR, using the Reserve for different purposes at different times. It is only now, however, that the government is beginning to see why there is such a strong need to preserve the biodiversity of this natural heritage area. Protection of the reserve for the sake of large mammal species only will not reflect the integrity of the biological components, functions and values of biodiversity. Past management experiences in the KWR showed that managing large mammal species alone is not adequate and wildlife in its broader sense equivalent to biodiversity, i.e. includes plants. The social aspects around KWR should also be given an equal attention. Expectations of the people surrounding KWR, the state government of Pahang and opportunity values within KWR play greater roles in managing the biodiversity of KWR. In addition, the management of KWR must be incorporated into the broader landscape management of the state of Pahang. Thus, its functional values must be seen in much broader perspectives. |
