Pahang National is a Malaysia’s Premier National Park. It is one of the oldest, unspoilt rainforests in the world, and it is estimated to have evolved over 130 million years. With an area of 4,343 square kilometers (1,676 square miles) or more than a million acres, Taman Negara is the largest park and the most extensive protected rainforest area in Malaysia. Besides the dense virgin jungle, it also houses Peninsular Malaysia’s highest mountain in the Tahan Range, namely, Gunung Tahan at 2,187 meters (7,173 feet). As a protected area, many visitors interest to visit this National Parks. However because of uncontrolled carrying capacity of visitors could lead to increased rates of soil compactions. Increasing of soil compaction at the trail can give bad impact to the vegetation surrounding the compaction areas. Because of the soil too compact it will be difficult to absorb the rain water that falls to the ground. These circumstances will form a small water flow. The construction of small water flows naturally will cause erosion and thus be detrimental to the surrounding vegetation. Besides that, the erosion occurs, many roots arise and the roots can’t grip the soil properly. Then, it can cause the trees fallen because tree roots no longer grip strength to grip the ground.
Other than that. The trail now is no longer like before, this is because the trail widened because of uncontrolled visitor carrying capacity. Uncontrolled visitors’ carrying capacity causing a wide trail and the ground becomes too compact.
comment from Mr.Azman.. he said.. need more elaboration.. but i have no idea for this... :( and he ask me to checkout for number of visitor for 5 years before.. argggg... FANING!!!
