THERE are plans to upgrade the Wildlife Conservation Centre (SWCC) in Sungkai into an eco-tourism centre, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G. Palanivel said.

He said the upgrading of the SWCC would cost about RM18mil, which would include facilities for tourists and also for conservation purposes under the 11th Malaysia Plan.
