The Pasoh Forest Reserve, a nature reserve located about 8 km from Simpang Pertang, Malaysia and around 70 km southeast of Kuala Lumpur.
Palm oil plantations surround the reserve on three sides while the other side adjoins a selectively logged dipterocarp forest.
An average of 2 metres of rain fall each year, ranging from 1,728 to 3,112 mm.
[1] In 1987, a 50 hectare forest dynamics plot was established in the reserve,[2] which began as a collaboration between the Forest Research Institute Malaysia, the Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO; previously Center for Tropical Forest Science),[3] and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
[4] The reserve has largely been destroyed by loggers and miners.
