The 20 geosites will make up the proposed 112,955ha Gombak-Hulu Langat Selangor Geopark.
A national geopark is an area that has been gazetted for sustainable development with equal emphasis on the preservation of natural resources, local history and culture.Those identified for gazettement include the Gombak Selangor Quartz Ridge, Gua Damai Park, Kanching Forest Park and Commonwealth Forest Park.
“Infographic boards have been set up at the facilities where work is being done, including in Batu Arang, Batu Caves and the Gua Damai Park,” he said after chairing the monthly full board meeting at Menara MPS. “However, we do need funds from the state and Federal governments to ensure that these attractions are up to the mark,” he added.
Selangor tourism, environment, green technology and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said the state, through Selangor Plan@Malaysia, had in October last year presented to the National Geopark Evaluation Committee the dossier advocating for geopark status.
