IPOH: The Perak state government has gazetted approximately 1,000ha of land at the Durian Pipit Forest Reserve in Hulu Perak as a replacement site for the cancelled area (forest reserve) used for quarry activities at the Segari Melintang Forest Reserve in Manjung, says Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.
The Perak Mentri Besar said under Section 11 and 12 of the National Forestry Act 1984, the state authority may remove or abolish permanent forest reserve for economic uses.
