The Forest Research Institute Malaysia Forest Park Selangor (FRIM FPS), inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2025, is a pioneering example of large-scale tropical forest restoration, transforming a former tin mining site into a thriving rainforest ecosystem since the 1920s. Located near Kuala Lumpur, this park features thousands of documented tree species, diverse wildlife, and attractions like the forest canopy walkway and Sungai Kroh waterfalls. Recognized for its scientific and conservation significance, FRIM FPS serves as a global model for reforestation and a hub for research and ecotourism.
