MIRI: The Sarawak Natural Resources and Environmental Board (NREB) will table a proposal to the state Cabinet to tighten environmental provisions to give greater protection to areas deemed highly sensitive to economic development and human interference.
The proposal, among others, will give the board wider control over development in areas such as the more than 1,000km-long mangrove coastal belt stretching from Kuching to Limbang, and also other highly sensitive projects that can disrupt the ecosystem, such as township construction.
