Land Development In Malaysia

Before starting with the short definition of wetland it should be considered that Wetlands, watersheds and wildlife habitats are the most remarkable across the world as the alive ecosystems.

For centuries, the general public in English-speaking countries has used terms like marsh, swamp, mire, and bog to refer to wet, damp, or soggy ground.

It has been defined as a basis for inventorying these natural resources, for conducting scientific studies, and, in some countries, for regulating uses of these environmentally sensitive areas.

For instance Taman wetland Putrajaya in Malaysia that is about 108 kilometre can be introduced as a best resource

2. The National Physical Plan of Malaysia is not really a land use planning according to the FAO guideline. Explain.

1.2: The second important point in chapter one is mentioning FAO guideline goals based on efficiency, equity and acceptability and
