Gunung Kanthan is one of the last 12 remaining limestone hills in the Kinta Valley National Geopark which is home to some endangered species of flora and fauna like the bent-toed geckos, snow-white orchids and tiny snails.

Screw these people.

Religious heritage site aside, a lot of amazing plants and animals are only found on a single limestone cliff or a few. Some stunning plants that are only known from one or two limestone hills in Malaysia are like Begonia amphioxus and Nepenthes campanulata. Just imagine all the species that were destroyed before they were even discovered.
