Kuala Selangor Nature Park is in the final process of being gazetted as a forest reserve – a status which Selangor government hopes will protect the mangrove forest and local wildlife against future development projects.

State tourism, environment, green technology and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said the gazettement was expected to be finalised by December.
