Our nation Malaysia has tropical rainforest as its climate (Peninsular West and Borneo East in general). Its mostly rain and sunshine thoughout the year (with April – May being the driest months and December – January being the wettest). In West Malaysia, the Titiwangsa range sits right in the middle of the peninsular and the area in the range itself is where much of our national green reservation is.
Settlement is visible from the foot of the range (on either side), all the way to the two coast. We live on the west side of the range in an areas called the Klang Valley. It is the most populous area in the country and much of its settlement is spread (historically as well), along the Klang River.
Due to the heavy industrialization in this area (and therefore mass urbanization), we have lost much of our natural flora and fauna. The Sunda Pangolin and Fireflies are known creatures but these days they can only be found in the extreme north or extreme south of the Klang Valley. The Pangolin may have been extinct due to hunting activities but the Fireflies are still available and the region where they nest (Kuala Selangor) is a famous tourist spots.
