Working towards biodiversity conservation

I REFER to the letter “Work to conserve heritage” (The Star, March 7) by Dr Saw Leng Gua of the Forest Biodiversity Division of the Forest Resarch Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) and the report “Groups worry over quarry” (The Star, March 5).

Lafarge Malaysia has always stated its commitment to biodiversity conservation and in maintaining open communication with all stakeholders. We seek to balance the environmental footprint of our operations with the value created by our activities for local communities and our manufactured products that contribute towards societal development.
