Kuala Gula-Matang mangrove forests proposed for inclusion under international wetlands treaty

THE Global Environment Centre (GEC) expressed its support for the recent proposal to nominate the Kuala Gula-Matang mangrove forests in Perak to be internationally recognised for its importance.

The proposal by environmentalists is for the mangrove forests in Kuala Sepetang, near Taiping, to be listed under “Eight Wetlands of International Importance” (Ramsar site).
