Taman Negara is a national park in Peninsular Malaysia. It was established in 1938 and 1939 as the King George V National Park after Theodore Hubback lobbied the sultans of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan to set aside a piece of land that covers the three states for the creation of a protected area. After independence, it was renamed Taman Negara, which means ‘national park’ in Malay. Taman Negara has a total area of 4,343 km2 and it is one of the world’s oldest rainforests, estimated to be more than 130 million years old. Mount Tahan, Peninsular Malaysia’s highest point, is within the park’s boundaries.
