With close to 300 species of birds and listed as one of the top five birding spot in the world the SFDJ has worked slosely with the Johor branch of the Malaysian Nature Society to shape the bird sanctuary that concurs with birders opinions and advice. Its status as an important International Birding Area IBA has been recognized by birders worlwide hence Pantis high conservation value has necessitated this meaningful undertaking. SFDJ sees its intrinsic value as a permanent educational research and recretional area and its natural appeal is an important eco-tourism product. As Panti is noted to be well represented by the major families of birds typical of the Oriental and Sunda regions and is also home to protected and migratory avifauna species the establishment of the Panti Bird Sanctuary answers many needs of nature lovers as well as to address effort in the conservation of forest biodiversity.
