The Perdana Botanical Garden

The Perdana Botanical Garden, formerly known as Taman Tasik Perdana or Lake Gardens, is situated in the Heritage Park of Kuala Lumpur. It has always been a part of the green lung of the city and has a history of over a decade. The Perdana Botanical Garden is a comprehensive initiative to promote the conservation, enhancement, and enjoyment of the city's green spaces. The programme involves the development and maintenance of a world-class botanical garden, which covers an area of 90 hectares in the heart of the city. The garden features a diverse collection of tropical plants, including orchids, ferns, palms, and bamboos, as well as a range of other attractions, such as lakes, ponds, and themed gardens. The garden is also home to several iconic landmarks, such as the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, the National Monument, and the Islamic Arts Museum. The Perdana Botanical Garden programme aims to promote environmental awareness, education, and recreation in the city, providing a green oasis for residents and visitors alike. The programme also promotes biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land management practices, contributing to the achievement of several of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 15: Life on Land, by promoting the conservation and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, by promoting the provision of accessible and inclusive green spaces in urban areas.
