KUALA LUMPUR: Air surveillance will resume in peninsular Malaysia in light of recent media reports of rampant land clearing, illegal logging and forest encroachment, said Datuk Seri Douglas Uggah Embas.

The Natural Resources and Environment Minister said the Government was serious about tackling these issues, which had a negative environmental impact on Malaysia's forests and biodiversity.
