Kuching Wetlands

The Kuching Wetlands National Park, located close to Kampung Telaga Air, shares a deep connection with the village through its mangrove ecosystem and coastal resources. The wetlands act as a natural support system for the fishing community in Telaga Air, providing a healthy environment for marine life such as fish, prawns, and crabs that form the backbone of the villagers’ daily catch. This close link between the mangrove forest and the village’s livelihood highlights the importance of sustainable conservation, ensuring that the community continues to benefit from the rich biodiversity of the wetlands.
For visitors, exploring both the Kuching Wetlands and Kampung Telaga Air offers a complete eco-cultural experience. Tourists can enjoy boat cruises in the wetlands to spot wildlife such as proboscis monkeys and dolphins, then head to Telaga Air to savor freshly caught seafood and learn about the fishermen’s traditional way of life. Together, the wetlands and the village complement each other—one showcasing natural wonders and conservation, the other highlighting cultural heritage and community livelihood—making them a unique and memorable destination in Sarawak.
