Boost for Sarawak conservation


By YU JI

KUCHING: The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is helping the Sarawak government expand totally protected areas from the present 830,000ha to a target of one million hectares.

WWF’s new programme leader Dr Jason Hon said the present totally protected area (TPA) was only around 600,000ha – far from the intended size. About 229,000ha of TPA currently covers water bodies.
