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.

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.

 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.
