A part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Project-MAL/99/G31: Conservation and Sustainable Use of Tropical Peat Swamp Forest and Associated Wetlands Ecosystems in Malaysia, aims to develop and implement plans, which encourage processes to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of plants of the peat swamp forests of the Klias Peninsula. Having this type of information will enable the linking in the significance of such types of plants to the peat swamp forest ecosystems. The interdependency of the communities who lived around the Klias Forest Reserve and surrounding associated wetlands on plants of the peat swamp ecosystem is demonstrated by the extensive pharmacopoeia (including edible plants) derived from at least 167 species constituting vascular plants and two fungi, listed here. We have iventoried these among the ethnolinguistic subgroups of Kedayan-Brunei, Bisaya and Murut (Dusunic) peoples within these communities.
