Two forest reserves reclassified


KOTA KINABALU: Tracts of forests surrounding one of Sabah’s remaining pristine areas are being upgraded as conservation zones, thus guaranteeing more protection for the precious resources.

This came about as two commercial forest reserves in the Maliau Basin, known as Sabah’s Lost World, are being reclassified as class 1 protection areas after the state assembly amended the Forestry Enactment at the end of its four-day meeting on Thursday.
