KUALA LUMPUR: The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) line along the Kemasul Forest Reserve in Temerloh, Pahang, will include elephant barrier fencing on both tracks to prevent human-elephant conflicts in the area.
Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL) said discussions with the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) concluded that such fencing is necessary as the route through the forest reserve crosses several agricultural plantations and forest-edge areas that serve as elephant habitats.
