 Tasik Chini surrounded by development especially oil palm plantation; need a specific guidelines for development around Tasik Chini.

Land clearing right to the lake. No way to avoid surface runoff from going to the lake. Should be a buffer zone to avoid surface erosion causing sedimentation in the lake.

This construction change the nature of the lake which is very unique for the lake ecology, biodiversity and nature conservation.

The development definitely caused effects to local people especially the Orang Asli who depending on lake for their living.

Hope for Chini to be saved and Protection. It is very lucky because Tasik Chini is under Constituency of Pekan headed by the Prime Minister Najib Razak. Malaysia’s only Unesco Biosphere need to be save and NGO must involve. Perhaps MNS can lead and engaging local people and individual experts who have no interests in position in government and politic.

The environment is a key area of the Road map for the Asean Community, 2015.  Malaysia is the chair for Asean in 2015.

Lake Chini in focus as Utusan continues to criticise Pahang: the authorities must listen to experts not just politician to make right decision on environmental management.

 uncontrolled mining, logging and farming led to the deterioration of the lake, which is recognised as a biosphere reserve by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco).

 research results – on aspects of flora, fauna, eco-hydrology, climate change and environmental restoration and management – was not taken seriously by the state’s government, district and land office and the forestry department.

Kenapa Ahli Biologi Perlu Di Hadapan-Cerita Lama yang Berulang

Pembalakan Pahang punca gangguan haiwan liar

KUALA LUMPUR 21 Okt. - Jabatan Perlindungan Hidupan Liar dan Taman Negara (Perhilitan) Pahang menerima 1,716 aduan mengenai gangguan haiwan liar berpunca daripada pembalakan di negeri itu sejak tiga tahun lalu.

Ketua Audit Negara, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang berkata, daripada jumlah tersebut, 748 membabitkan aduan gangguan gajah, 122 (harimau) manakala 846 lagi aduan berkaitan kera.

Beliau berkata, laporan bagi tempoh 2006 hingga 2008 itu adalah serius kerana ia mengancam nyawa serta menyebabkan kerugian harta benda orang awam.

Beliau berkata, tahun lalu, kerugian dianggarkan RM474,120 membabitkan lebih 20,000 tanaman kelapa sawit, getah, pisang, durian dan kelapa yang dirosakkan oleh haiwan tersebut.

"Semakan Audit mendapati gangguan gajah pada tahun 2008 sering tertumpu di kawasan ladang berkeluasan lebih 100 hektar.

"Selain tanaman penduduk musnah, gajah turut merosakkan harta benda seperti rumah dan kemudahan asas lain,'' katanya dalam Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2008 yang dikeluarkan kelmarin.

Beliau berkata, selain pembalakan, aktiviti perlombongan haram di Taman Negeri Tasik Chini turut menyumbang kepada masalah pencerobohan hidupan liar ke kawasan penempatan manusia.

Menurutnya, pencerobohan di tasik tersebut adalah serius kerana ia menjejaskan kualiti air serta memusnahkan flora dan fauna di sekelilingnya.

Katanya, pengurusan hutan di negeri itu kurang memuaskan kerana aktiviti di kawasan Hutan Simpanan Kekal (HSK) sama ada secara sah ataupun haram memberi impak negatif kepada alam sekitar.

Justeru katanya, Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Pahang (JPNP) perlu menyediakan perancangan yang komprehensif sebelum melaksanakan projek ladang hutan dengan mengambil kira kesannya terhadap alam sekitar.

"Selain itu, JPNP juga perlu mengambil kira keperluan guna tenaga, logistik, kos dan masa dalam pengurusan hutan,'' katanya.

Kelip-kelip kebanggaan Selangor akan pupus

KUALA LUMPUR 21 Okt. - Industri pelancongan kelip-kelip yang bertaraf antarabangsa di Daerah Kuala Selangor dikhuatiri akan terhapus berikutan kepupusan ketara populasi serangga berkenaan.

Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2008 mendapati aktiviti pertanian pinggir sungai menjadi punca kepada kemusnahan hutan di kawasan itu yang menjadi habitat bagi pembiakan kelip-kelip.

Kerajaan negeri pula dilaporkan merancang mengambil alih tanah milik individu di pinggir Sungai Selangor menjadi tanah kerajaan bagi memelihara habitat berkenaan.

''Laporan Audit ke Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor pada malam 29 Mac 2009 untuk melihat keadaan populasi kelip-kelip dengan menaiki bot menyusur Sungai Selangor mendapati populasi serangga itu telah berkurangan.

''Ini adalah kerana kawasan hutan pinggir Sungai Selangor di Kampung Kuantan telah ditebang dan dibersihkan untuk pembangunan pertanian, kemusnahan alam sekitar telah memberi kesan kepada kepupusan kelip-kelip dan sosioekonomi penduduk setempat," katanya.

Laporan berkenaan mula diedarkan di Parlimen kelmarin.

Pemulihan kelip-kelip merupakan Polisi Keempat (4) dalam Pelan Pengurusan Lembangan Sungai Selangor (2007-2012) yang mana serangga berkenaan hendaklah dilindungi kerana menjadi daya tarikan utama pelancong dan menyumbang kepada pendapatan penduduk setempat.

Kampung Kuantan di Daerah Kuala Selangor merupakan lokasi kelip-kelip yang hidup di atas pokok berembang, pokok sagu dan nipah di pinggir Sungai Selangor.

Menurut laporan itu, panorama keindahan yang dihasilkan oleh kumpulan kelip-kelip pada waktu malam menarik pelancong dari dalam dan luar negara berkunjung ke Kampung Kuantan untuk melihat sendiri keindahan serta keunikan serangga berkenaan.

''Pihak Audit telah membuat semakan dan rujukan dengan Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia (FRIM) dan mendapati FRIM telah menjalankan penyelidikan berkaitan habitat pembiakan dan pemantauan kelip-kelip sejak 2006.

''Kajian ini masih berjalan sehingga sekarang dan pada 14 Januari 2009, FRIM telah memaklumkan kepada Majlis Daerah Kuala Selangor bahawa populasi serangga di Kampung Kuantan telah berkurangan," katanya.

Tambah laporan berkenaan, kajian FRIM mendapati sepanjang tempoh pemantauan populasi dijalankan, tiga daripada tujuh kawasan yang dipantau pada asalnya terdiri daripada hutan pinggir sungai tetapi telah dilapangkan sepenuhnya untuk tujuan pembangunan pertanian dan lainlain.

''Kawasan yang dilapangkan adalah kawasan habitat pembiakan kelip-kelip dan kesinambungan populasi serangga ini sangat bergantung kepada kawasan habitat semula jadi seperti hutan sagu dan nipah,'' katanya.

Kita tidak mahu perkara asas yang semua orang tahu tidak dilaksanakan atau tidak diberi perhatian. Apabila sudah terlanjur baru nak buat pembetulan. Kita rugi sumber semulajadi, menyusahkan ramai orang, dan tidak ekonomi. Fikir dahulu sebelum bertindak. Rujuk kepada pakar kalau malu rujuk buku dalam selimut.

Perhaps we need to have more production like this to educate public on conservation. Issues of Tasik Chini and Tasik Bera the only natural water bodies in Malay Peninsular.

Perak to gazette 19,000ha forest: Need total support from all Malaysian and world.

WILDLIFE SANCTUARY: One of four states is involved in Federal Govt's Central Forest Spine project

SOME 19,000ha of the Lower Belum Forest along the Grik-Jeli Highway will be gazetted as a permanent forest reserve under the Federal Government's Central Forest Spine project.
Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said the area was a productive forest located within the Belum-Temenggor complex near the Grik-Jeli Highway.
He said Perak was one of the states involved in the CFS project, which would link up four major forest complexes in Peninsular Malaysia to create one contiguous forested wildlife sanctuary.
"The move shows how serious the state government is about preserving the environment and green lung of Perak. This is a huge sacrifice because the area involved is a productive forest for timber production. This long-term investment will benefit future generations," he said here yesterday.
Zambry said some groups had been urging the state government to gazette more areas in Temenggor, adding that a study needed to be done to ensure the timber industry was not affected.
The CFS is a master plan to enable the animal and plant species in the country to continue to thrive for future generations.

Under the plan, the forest complexes will be connected through a network of 37 linkages to form a 5.3 million ha of forest complex. This area would allow animals to roam freely from north to south of the peninsula.
The four forest complexes are Titiwangsa-Bintang-Nakawan Range; National Park to Eastern Range; Southeast Pahang Swamp Forest, Tasik Chini and Tasik Bera; and Endau Rompin National Park-Kluang Wildlife Reserve.
Earlier, Zambry witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the state government and Pulau Banding Foundation to promote sustainable development of the rainforest ecosystem of the Belum-Temenggor rainforest.

Elephant dungs may attract scientists to study its importance in the forests

Thursday January 17, 2013

Zambry: 19,000ha along East-West Highway in Perak to be permanently gazetted

 Once the areas are gazetted, no logging will be allowed in the area (which comprises forests on both sides of the highway). Wildlife including elephants that have been moving between the lower Belum and upper Belum forests, can roam freely along the route. Belum-Temenggor area would allow both local and internationally renowned universities and research institutions to carry out scientific research on flora and fauna at the rainforest.
