English Definition
A large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth. Malaysia's forests — among the world's most biodiverse — cover approximately 55% of land area. Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak each have distinct forest ecosystems. Deforestation for palm oil, logging, and development has reduced forest cover significantly. Community forestry and forest certification programs aim to balance development with conservation.
Example
“Hutan Malaysia merupakan rumah kepada ribuan spesies tumbuhan dan haiwan yang tidak terdapat di tempat lain.”
In English: “Malaysia's forests are home to thousands of plant and animal species found nowhere else on earth.”
