GEORGE TOWN: It will take between one and two years for Penang Hill and its surrounding areas to be recognised as a Unesco biosphere reserve, says Datuk Cheok Lay Leng.

The Penang Hill Corporation general manager said his team started the whole Unesco biosphere reserve application process about three to four years ago.

He said that in recent months, the corporation has managed to get it through the whole process and the ministry has signed the application. “We have to wait now. It may take one to two years and the experts from Unesco may come and visit Penang Hill and then we will take it from there.
