About us!!

Endau Rompin National Park is a protected tropical rainforest in 
Malaysia. It is an area south of the state of Pahang and to the northeast 
of Johor covering an approximate area of 870 km², effectively making 
it is the second largest national park in Peninsular Malaysia after 
Taman Negara, with approximately 26 km of trail. It is the second 
national park proclaimed by the government of Malaysia.

The park is one of the oldest tropical rainforest complexes in the 
world and features rock formations some 248 million years old. Apart 
from that, the park contains the largest remaining population of the 
threatened Sumatran rhinoceros species on the Malay Peninsela. Gunung 
Besar which is the second highest in Johor is located in the park.The 
park takes its name from the Endau and Rompin rivers that flow through 
the park. Other rivers that flow through the parks are 
Segamat, Selai and Jasin.

During the monsoon season that covers from November till March, 
the park is closed to the public. Further, fishing is banned from September 
till October during mating season.The first scientific study of the area 
was conducted in 1892 by H.W. Lake and Lieutenant H.J. Kelsall. With 
the aid of the study, the forest complex of Endau-Kluang was gazetted 
as a forest reserve in 1933. Later in 1972, the forest reserve was 
expanded to include Lesong forest reserve in Pahang.

In the same year, the federal government came up with a proposal 
to federally protect 2,000 km² of the complex as a national park. 
At that time there was no legal mechanism to create a national 
park. In 1980, the National Parks Act 1980 (Malaysia) was passed by
 the Malaysian Parliament. However, dispute between federal and 
state powers prevented the creation of a national park in the area 
at that time. Five years later, the Department of Wildlife and National 
Parks proposed roughly the same areas to be gazette as wildlife 
sanctuary to protect the endangered Sumatran rhinoceros.

In the early 1980s, logging was a major concern in Johor. It was 
discovered in the decade that the logging had come up to the boundary 
of the forest reserve and threatened to devastate the area. The Malaysian 
Nature Society, in an effort to promote public awareness surrounding 
the issue of Endau Rompin conducted a scientific study in 1984 into the 
area, completely financed by the public. The expedition discovered 
25 new species. In the same year, the government of Johor finally 
allowed 251.95 km² of the area to be gazetted as a national park.

The national park was further enlarged after 
Pahang and Johor agreed to such action. In 1993, 
the Endau Rompin National 
Park was finally created with the total area 
of approximately 900 km² of forest cover.­­
