THE Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) has submitted an appeal letter to the Selangor Forestry Department to maintain the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve, following a proposed degazettement of the forest.

FRIM said the forest needed to be protected as it had found through its preliminary inventory studies that there were many species of flora and fauna categorised as endangered.
