Gunung Stong State Park Preliminary Management Plan and droppings, calls and/or direct sightings are good indicators of improving general forest health, and may be related to the absence of human disturbances and reduction of hunting pressures. GSSP staff must be trained to recognise these biological indicators and to formulate remedial measures, whether by direct intervention (e.g. increased enforcement, re-stocking of absent or declining wildlife species, silvicultural treatments, etc.) or benign intervention (e.g. closing an area off, and letting natural regeneration to happen). General observations on wildlife (direct sightings, calls, prints, droppings), plants (presence and relative abundance of primary, pioneer or invasive alien species) and habitats (incidence of erosion, human disturbance, etc.) during patrols must be reported and filed, and the trends (if any) analysed for remedial measures. Park workers must be well-versed in rapid biological assessment methods. 6.13 Signposting Signposting serves a number of purposes – as a navigational tool, as a method for informing visitors of pertinent information concerning the park (including codes of conduct), as well as to educate visitors (e.g. through the use of interpretive signage). To reduce confusion, warning notices, navigational signs and interpretive signs, should be separately color-coded. 6.13.1 Navigational Signposting Without navigational signposts, visitors will have difficulty determining their position within GSSP, and will not know if they had inadvertently strayed into areas off-limits to visitors, and by doing so, may be disturbing an environmentally sensitive area. If visitor areas in GSSP are well sign-posted, the absence of signposts would indicate to visitors that they are in a place where they should not be. Navigational signposts include summit signposts, campsite signposts, and directional signposts. Summit signposts are signposts that are placed on the popular summits, detailing the altitude, and name of the summit. These signs should be placed at the summit of G. Ayam, G. Stong, G. Tera, G. Che Tahir, G. Che Kob, G. Menyelit, and G. Birut, as detailed in Table 6.10. Table 6.10: Placement of Summit Sign Posts No. Name of Summits Map Coordinates Elevation (m) 1. G.

Gunung Stong State Park Preliminary Management Plan Directional signposts are signs informing the hiker of the direction and distance to the next camping site or summit, and should be located at high visitor areas or at regular intervals along trails (e.g. every 500 m). Photo 6.3: Example of a Directional Signboard <strong>WWF</strong>-<strong>Malaysia</strong>/ N. M. Maseri Signposts at designated campsites indicate the name of campsites, their altitude, the estimated maximum capacity of campers there and the do’s and don’ts. This is to prevent camping at undesignated campsites, and their subsequent degradation. The designated campsites are Baha Camp, Bogo Rock Shelter, G. Ayam, Li Rock Shelter, Lembah Camp, Batu Hampar Camp, Cobra Camp, Tera Camp as detailed in Table 6.11. Table 6.11: Designated Campsites No. Campsite Name Map Coordinates Elevation (m) 1. Baha Camp N 441757 E 590819 2. Bogo Rock Shelter N 439798 E 590347 3. Li Rock Shelter N 439203 E 590515 461 816 1,062 4. Lembah Camp N/A 1,160 5. Tera Camp N 434747 E 591542 1,445 Navigational signposts reduce the risk of visitors getting lost, indicate the orientation and distance to the intended destination, and allow visitors to plan their pacing and rest-times accordingly. Signposts also prevent camping at non-designated sites. At the entry-points and the Stong resort area, signposts are needed to direct visitors to the registration area, interpretive centres, toilets, and accommodation facilities available. At entry-points, there should be a map showing the general layout of the park, showing details such as major trails, areas of interest, distances between points, and estimated travelling time between these points, while also indicating the relative position of the visitor within the park area. 91
