Good reasons to preserve Gunung Kanthan

GUNUNG Kanthan, located in the Kinta Valley National Geopark, is in danger of losing its priceless archaeological, palaeontological, biological, cultural and tourism values due to commercialism if the state government goes ahead in issuing a permit to quarry Zone C of the limestone massif.

Gunung Kanthan is a potential treasure trove of archaeological and palaeontological sites because many such sites in Peninsular Malaysia are associated with limestone caves.
