LAHAD DATU: Malaysia has taken another step towards better understanding of global environmental problems with the setting up of its Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) station at the internationally renowned Danum Valley rainforest centre near here.
The station, the second of its kind in South-East Asia after one in Sumatra, and the 23rd such centre worldwide, will provide Malaysia with long-term, reliable, high-quality data and information on the environment to help formulate national and international policies on global changes.
