[ edit ]
In 1948, the 2,499 hectares (6,180 acres) Labu–Selirong Wildlife Sanctuary was established.[5] Initially in 1950, plans for both the Andulau and Selirong Forest Reserve were set to begin within that year but later fell through.[6] Later in 1954, the Labu–Selirong Wildlife Sanctuary was later expanded to an area of 8,984 hectares (22,200 acres).[5]
Tourism
[ edit ]
It is home to the Selirong Island Mangrove Park and Selirong Forest Reserve.[7] [8] The island consisted of the largest mangrove swamps and wildlife reserve with an area of 2,566 hectares (6,340 acres).[9] [10] Selirong is one of the ten islands used for ecotourism , research and educational purposes .[11] In order to monitor and investigate the wildlife on the island, notably a 2 kilometres (1.2 mi ) walkway and an observation tower were built.[12]
Animals such as the proboscis monkeys , macaques , kingfishers and eagles made up the fauna .[13] Meanwhile, plants such as the nipah palms , stilt roots , bakau trees can be found in the Pulau Selirong Forest Recreation Park.[14]

[ edit ]
The island can only be accessed by speedboats from Bandar Seri Begawan .[15] The estimated time to reach the island from Muara is 45 minutes as it is required to pass through the Brunei River and across the Brunei Bay .[16]
