About this audio guide
This guide to Taman Negara Johor Pulau Kukup, the mangrove island national park off Kukup near Johor Bahru, turns on the autumn of twenty eighteen, when a quiet piece of state paperwork changed the island's legal footing. It follows a rights group, a crown prince, a sultan's private secretary and a state assembly through a few days of argument over who this protected wetland really belongs to. Best heard out on the boardwalk among the mangrove roots.
