Protect threatened birding areas


I REFER to the article by Simon Khoo, “Loss of habitat main cause of decline in migratory birds” (The Star, June 25) and I wish to highlight that this issue is not confined to Fraser’s Hill.

A recent bird-watching trip to Genting Highlands revealed a similar situation. Dozens of construction and development projects are currently in full swing in Genting Highlands, some of which may have already caused irreparable ecological damage to important bird habitats. Two of the most important birding areas affected are the famed Ulu Kali Road near the Telecoms station and the Awana Old Pump House Road.
