         Matang Mangrove Eco-educational Centre (MMEC) was established in 1992 and is managed by Perak State Forestry Department with the aim to provide recreation facilities, eco-tourism opportunities and improve public awareness regarding the importance of forestry. Matang mangrove is acknowledged as being one of the best-managed mangroves in the world with a management history of more than 100 years. Due to its unique habitats and ecosystems, high in biodiversity, and reputation of remarkable sustainable forest management, Matang not only has become a renowned destination for ecotourism, but also a center for research and education activities.
