Review forest clearing for projects, state govts told


Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar

PUTRAJAYA: The recent reckless clearing of forest reserves in the name of development has prompted the federal authorities to consider asking state governments to review such projects.

The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, through the National Land Council, will seek the states’ co-operation to protect the country’s green lungs and for those projects to be re-considered for the sake of the environment.
