Gunung Stong State Park Preliminary Management Plan<br />
during the monsoon season. The Migmatic Stong Complex, together with Gua Ikan, and the<br />
Sg. Galas, is three of the 22 geological heritage sites suggested by Komoo et al. (2001).<br />
Many of the prominent mountain peaks of the area are located in GSSP. These include<br />
Gunung Stong (1,422m), Gunung Ayam (1,504m), Gunung Saji (1,284m) and Gunung Tera<br />
(1,556m). Some parts of the northern flanks of the Migmatic Stong Complex are actually<br />
located within the Gunung Stong Utara Forest Reserve, outside of the GSSP area. This is not<br />
an ideal situation as the GSSP area, as it is currently defined, does not fully capture the whole<br />
ecosystem of the Migmatic Stong Complex. The northern flanks are composed of very steep<br />
slopes and therefore much of the area is not suitable for logging or any kind of land<br />
development (see Appendix 3). It is highly recommended, therefore, that the northern flanks<br />
within the Gunung Stong Utara Forest Reserve be gazetted as part of GSSP.<br />
