RECLAIMING

BUKIT TAKUN AS GEOSITEFOR SELANGOR STATE PARKS NATURAL HERITAGE

BACKGROUND STUDY

Geoheritage tourism is a product of geologicalsite conservation practices all around the world.

Geoheritage refers to an area that possesses richgeodiversity in term of rocks, minerals, fossils,

geological structures geomorphological and

landscape features, with heritage value of national

and regional significant.

Ecotourism defined by TIES (1990) as "responsibletravel to natural areas that conserves the

environment and improves the well-being of local

people.

Geoheritage tourism vs. Ecotourism,

Geoheritage tourism = specific on geological

features area,

Ecotourism = natural area.

Both have become as alternative ways in

generating billion dollars income as well as

conserving the natural environment and profiting

social context.

Urban developments such as

highways construction, road

enlargement, private residential, and

institution at the edge of

conservation area which do not

follow the local plan and land use

declaration (The Star,2012).

Change of conservation

boundaries due to property

demand, some of the conserved land

was degazzeted and sold to private

parties (Malaysian National Society,

2012).
