one level of environmental awareness. Near the dormitory,

Endau
Rompin is one of the very few remaining large tracts
of lowland and tropical rainforests in Peninsula Malaysia
with a core area of undisturbed natural vegetation which
has existed for millions of years. The park is home
to a vast assemblage of plant life, a primary sanctuary
for large mammals like the Sumatran Rhinoceros, Asian
Elephants, Tigers, Malayan Sun Bears, Tapirs and many
other forms of wild life such as more than 230 species
of birds, 43 fishes, 26 frogs, 14 snakes, 9 lizards,
3 turtles, and 179 butterflies, some of which are threatened
with extinction and not found elsewhere in the world.
