Cultural Heritage of Indigenous Housing at Tasek Bera Village, Malaysia
Located in southwest Pahang, Tasik Bera is the largest natural freshwater lake in Peninsula Malaysia. The Semelai aborigines reside in the areas surrounding Tasik Bera and they continue to acquire food in traditional ways. Rich in wildlife and vegetation, Bera is therefore an ecosystem, which not only supports a diversity of animal and plant life but also sustains the livelihood of the Semelai people. Tasik Bera plays an important role in flood control, water flow regulation and purification and it also provides many natural resources for the local community. Hence, it is protected under an international treaty, RAMSAR CONVENTION, which was declared in November 1994.
