马来西亚半岛的红树林主要分布在受保护的海岸、河口、河流和一些近岸岛屿上。红树林供养着各种各样的动植物，是各种生物的重要繁殖地。红树林在提供经济和环境方面的宝贵货物和服务方面的重要性已得到充分理解和记载。马来西亚半岛林业部一直在关注国家、区域和国际各级管理红树林的最新问题。FDPM一直致力于实施可持续森林管理实践，并根据当前的关注，如气候变化，保护生物多样性和自然灾害，包括海啸，对林业专业提出了更高的期望。红树林的政策和管理对国家的政治、社会、经济、生态和环境福祉有很大影响，因此管理红树林对该部来说是非常具有挑战性的。红树林管理体系经历了从单纯的木材生产管理到保护与养护相结合的管理体系的转变。对红树林的系统管理早在1904年就开始了，当时通过了马塘红树林的第一个工作计划。马塘红树林被认为是世界上描述最好的红树林，是可持续管理的红树林的典范。马塘红树林正处于第二轮的第三个十年期，经过100多年的管理，森林仍然完好无损，提供可持续的各种商品和服务。这本身就表明森林管理做法取得了成功，使马塘红树林成为世界上管理最好的红树林。1978年《国家森林政策》（1992年修订）特别强调保护红树林，1984年《国家森林法》（1993年修订）对此给予了适当承认和特别关注。未来马来西亚半岛的红树林管理将采用综合方法，通过更积极的研究与发展、科学考察和对红树林的研究，进一步改进目前的管理方法，并纳入最新的发现和最新的信息。将强调转变模式，甚至在生产红树林的管理中保护生物多样性。国家林业政策和与红树林有关的其他政策需要不时加以修订，以符合当前的条件和要求，确保永久实现其多种功能。FDPM在红树林的可持续管理方面取得的成功，实际上有助于马来西亚湿地的可持续发展，这对地球的生存和未来健康也至关重要。
Mangrove forests in Peninsular Malaysia are found mainly on the sheltered coasts, estuaries, rivers and some near-shore islands. Mangrove forests support a diverse range of animals and plants and are important breeding ground for a vast array of organisms. The importance of mangrove forests in providing invaluable goods and services both in economics and environmental terms are well understood and documented. Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia (FDPM) has been keeping abreast with current issues at the national, regional and international levels in managing the mangrove forests. FDPM has always been fully committed to the implementation of the sustainable forest management practices and in line with current concerns such as climate change, conservation of biological diversity and natural calamities including tsunami, have brought about a heightened expectation to the forestry profession. The policy and management of mangrove forests have great impacts on the political, social, economic, ecological and environmental well- being of the country, and thus managing mangrove forests is very challenging to the department. Mangrove forests management system has undergone changes from merely managing for its wood produce, to a management system that incorporates multiple roles, protection and conservation. Systematic management of mangrove forests started as early as 1904, with the adoption of the first working plan for Mangrove Forests in Matang. The Matang mangroves are identified as the best described mangrove forests in the world and is an exemplary of the sustainable managed mangrove forests. The Matang mangroves is in its third ten-year period of the second rotation, and after more than 100 years of management, the forest is still intact, providing sustainable various goods and services. This in itself is a manifestation of the success of forest management practices that aptly earned Matang mangroves as the best managed mangrove forests in the world. Special emphasis to the protection of the mangrove forests is enshrined in the National Forest Policy 1978 (revised1992) and duly recognized and given specific attention in the National Forestry Act 1984 (revised 1993). Future management of mangrove forests in Peninsular Malaysia will adopt an integrated approach by further refining the current management approach and incorporating latest findings and updated information through more vigorous R&D, scientific expeditions and studies on mangrove forests. A paradigm shift to conserve biodiversity even in the management of production mangrove forests will be emphasized. The National Forestry Policy and other policies related to mangrove forests need to be revised from time to time to match prevailing conditions and requirements, to ensure the realization of its multi-functions in perpetuity. The success in the sustainable management of mangrove forests by FDPM has in fact contributed to the sustainability of the Wetlands in Malaysia which is crucial to the survival and future health of the earth too.
