Introduction:

BUKIT PERSEKUTUAN, or Federal Hill, is an unassuming patch of greenery close to the heart of Kuala Lumpur with an impressive range of flora and fauna found in this 74.4ha secondary forest bordered by high-density developments – Damansara to the north, Perdana Botanical Gardens to the east, KL Sentral and Brickfields to the south and Bangsar to the west. In order to preserve this piece of rare greenery in the city, The Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) formed Urban Community Forest on Bukit Persekutuan to maintain it.
