It was report that around 3000 ha of Lesong Permanent Forest Reserved are being cleared and logged.
The reason quoted by Pahang Government is... the forest timber is of poor quality and thus has to be replanted.
I think these people have to have their brains examined for making an illogical decision. A forest reserve is NOT a commercial undertaking and it is not a commercial timber reserve. Pahang must be desperate for cash, and go to the extend of making excuse for their actions.
The Star reported that the Pahang Forestry said that the estimated vested volume of the timber is 50 to 116 cubic meter per hectre. At the estimate price of RM1000 per cu meter, the income will be around RM150mil. It is a small amount for the destruction incurred.
