The North-Central Selangor Mangrove Forests are important especially to waterbirds and certain globally threatened species particularly the Lesser Adjutants and Milky Storks.
The mangrove belt of the north Selangor coast is highly productive and has significant social and economic importance. Thousands of shorebirds utilize the extensive mudflats during low tide for feeding. Some 39,000 birds were counted in a 1985/86 survey along the coast. Asian Dowitchers, Lesser Adjutants and Milky Storks have also been noted frequenting the coastline. Consequently, the habitat is an important staging and feeding site for shorebirds internationally and locally (Scott 1989; Lopez and Mundkur 1997); Mundkur et al 1996; Silvius et al 1986). Monitoring of the coastline by the conservation groups and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Peninsular Malaysia) has been periodical in nature (Siti Hawa Yatim and Ismail Hj. Mamat 1994).
