IPOH: Planting just a few species of trees in a forest plantation project will be detrimental to the biodiversity at the Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve in Kuala Kangsar, says an environmental activist.
Persatuan Aktivis Sahabat Alam (Kuasa) president Hafizuddin Nasarudin said it was senseless for the forest plantation project to be carried out, adding that it would only drive away wildlife and cause possible conflict between wild animals and humans.“It will not be conducive as a habitat for various kinds of wildlife,” he said at a press conference by the Save Kledang Saiong Forest Network.
