Green space

Bangi Permanent Forest Reserve was gazetted in 1906 and handed over to UKM in 1970 for campus construction. This dipterocarp-type tropical forest was renamed the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Permanent Forest Reserve with an area of 138 hectares. The highest peak is Bukit Rupa, 105 meters above sea level. There are approximately 600 species of flora and 800 species of fauna that can be found in the Bangi Forest Reserve. This species is a botanical study for B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. level graduates.
