IN conjunction with Inter-national Day of Forests celebrated on March 21 every year, Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) urges the remaining states in Peninsular Malaysia that have yet to adopt the National Forestry (Amendment) Act 2022 to do so immediately.

As of today, amendments to the National Forestry Act 1984 have only come into force in Perlis and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.
