A new clearing – in water catchment area

Ongoing battle: Ramakrishnan has seen an increase in illegal land clearing in the area despite efforts by the authorities to crack down on such activities.

CAMERON HIGHLANDS: Barely a day after 7.28ha of land here was found to be illegally cleared, another new site has opened up.

This illegally cleared site, at the top of a hillock, is within a water catchment area serving some 30,000 people in Tanah Rata and Kg Raja.
