Preserving Tasik Chini

THERE is a need to preserve Tasik Chini and carry out research work there in the light of the rapid pace of development including palm oil cultivation and mining in the area that can have an adverse impact on the lake.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Tasik Chini Research Centre head Prof Datuk Dr Mushrifah Idris is determined to ensure the lake is preserved and supported to avoid its extinction like Tasik Mentiga which had dried up and disappeared from the map.
