JOHOR BARU: The Johor Forestry Department is in the process of identifying and profiling permanent forest reserves that have been exploited by outsiders, says its director Datuk Salim Aman .
“As the land is quite huge, it is even difficult for us to enter. There is also a conflict between the authorities and the villagers as they are often backed by NGOs,” he said when met by the media at the Johor Economic, Tourism and Cultural Office buka puasa event in Puteri Harbour here on Wednesday.
“It becomes an issue when they convert the forest into illegal plantations and also exploit the land outside the forest reserves. Salim said a meeting was held with the authorities such as the police and Orang Asli Development Department to determine the necessary action based on Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar’s recent decree.
The Ruler said as custodian, he suggested that their land be made Sultanate land, similar to national parks, which can prevent exploitation.
