Malaysia is a hot and humid country. The climate makes it suitable for mangroves to live and breed. Mangrove forests are concentrated in West Coast of Malaysia, and its largest distribution is found in Perak. Its long list of usage has made mangroves popular since a long time ago. However over the past decades, Mangrove species have been reported to be disappearing from the map. This is due to several activities that have been introduced in order to meet the demands of increased population. These include illegal logging, agriculture activities and urbanization. Awareness of the local residents on the problem of mangrove depletion is important to curb the problem.
