QUARRY activities within the proposed Kinta Valley Geopark must be reduced if the state government wants the area to gain Unesco Heritage site status, said an academician.

Prof Dr Mohd Shafeea Leman from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Science and Technology faculty, said quarry activities could cause the identity of the landscape to disappear and suggested that it be stopped.
