Pledge to extend conservation efforts

The development of ecotourism at peat swamp forests can create an alternative source of income for local communities.

THE Selangor government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Global Environment Centre (GEC) to work together in managing and conserving the state’s peat swamp forests.

The main objective of this MoU is to enhance conservation of peat swamp forests and reduce the risk of peatland fires and haze.
