China's love of stinky durian 'next big threat' to Malaysian rainforest

12 September 2019

“There are emerging threats coming up, with big demand for fruits such as durian from China,” Dzaeman Dzulkifli, executive director at the Tropical Rainforest Conservation & Research Centre , told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “Probably, some sort of guidelines in terms of where it can happen would be quite good,” said Dzulkifli, when asked whether there was a need for government legislation on the expansion of durian plantations.

But Malaysia is working on reforms to its decades-old forestry laws, and hopes to update these by next year to better protect its forests.
