The Pahang Forestry Department has a message for those eyeing logging concessions in the Endau Rompin State Park forest reserve – it has never and will never happen.
He said there were a few logging concessions in the vicinity but it involved 3,811.11ha and not 6,000ha as alleged on the hutanwatch.com website. Citing a document it received, the website alleged there was a “quiet removal” of 6,000ha of forest on the Pahang side of the Endau Rompin State Park.A comparison of two maps was posted on hutanwatch.com to highlight the area of discrepancy.
Dr Mohd Hizamri confirmed that the maps were inaccurate as the current boundaries of the state park was mapped according to a gazette dated Dec 7, 2000.“This has also been validated by the Pahang Department of Survey and Mapping in a letter dated April 27, 2017,” he said, adding that the maps on the department’s website would be updated immediately.
