Keep nature’s lights burning

WE are extremely saddened and disappointed by the mangrove habitat deforestation in Kampung Dew, near Taiping as reported in “Defo­res­tation in Kg Dew destroys firefly habitat” (Metro Perak, Sept 23).

Apart from the obvious detrimental effects to the environment, which we are both passionate about protecting, we are also concerned over this development because Kampung Dew has a special place in our hearts.
