PETALING JAYA: Conservationists have lauded the Perak Government for gazetting 18,866ha of forest in the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex (BTFC) as a permanent forest reserve.
The area, named the Amanjaya Forest Reserve, extends some 1.5km from either side of the East-West Highway. Around 130 million years old, the BTFC is made up of two forests – 1,175sq km of the Royal Belum State Park to the north and 1,477sq km of the Temengor Forest Reserve to the south.
