PONTIAN: Some 5,000 new mangrove trees will be replanted in the Tanjung Piai National Park to help preserve the wetlands at the southernmost tip of mainland Asia.

The new plants were contributed by state-owned investment arm Johor Corporation (JCorp) and the Raja Zarith Sofiah Wildlife Defenders Challenge 2016 programme.
