Generally, most Malaysians don’t care about nature preservation/Global warming even logging. Not many want to talk on the Timber industry that has been twisted and manipulated by many sides. Click here for proof or my story that Malaysian simply don’t care about wildlife or marine conservation.

One of my main objectives of this blog (yeah still is :p) is to focus on preservations. My apologies of pending this issue for a long time. I’ve been wanting to write on this for sometime. As some to me might know, I’m a total anti-Logging person, you name it illegal logging even legal logging. (in malay : SAYA ANTI PEMBALAKAN HARAM mahupun HALAL, lol)…….. I think it’s time to substitute logging with other economical activities, for example tourism. Imagine the whole world with less forest and we have what they don’t have. Take example Europe, most Europe countries don’t have a single original forest, those still standing are planted forest turned to parks. I don’t want to see Malaysia turn into a barren grey and dusty country like Java island. There’s hardly any forest there, can you imagine! Okay maybe I’m exaggerating but since we don’t have any over populated situation, I don’t see why we need to cut off our trees.

could this view be viewed by future generations? or would it only be viewed by photos from today?

Being born in a tropical country I’m proud to have among the most oldest/untouched rain forest in the world, having a few so called national parks, and so called reserve forest. Also so many beautiful islands. (including Sipadan which was nominated at one of the 7 wonders of nature in the world) But do you guys realized that we have been robbed in daylight? You remember when Bush attacked Iraq and everyone said theres was no MWD and they still attacked? This is the same scenario when our so called politicians says there’s allays controlled logging. I bet one fine day when all the forest are gone, they will come out with an idea, we were fooled by the forestry department. That’s why in my entry“Conspiracy of Silence give thieves a field day” I’m amazed on how we could let this happen in front of our bare eyes. Those who fortunate enough having helicopters or even those light weight/flight school cadets might know, as whenever flying over malaysian reserve forest they would be empty holes which are effects of logging. Mostly illegal logging.

green indicating forest in borneo island rapid change over the years. what will happen in 2050? all gone? Would we life to tell our kids on how beautiful this country use to be?



The report was more mixed on Malaysia and Ghana. While Malaysia has less overall illegal logging than the other nations evaluated, it has not seen any conclusive improvement over the last decade in combating the problem. Transparency is one of Malaysia’s largest problems. source



Transparency? You see. I don’t wish to elaborate more on this. Let this be a study on how logging will effect Malaysians as whole in the Future. It’s always good to prevent rather then to cure? After the deforestation activities, how far reforest plans would work and how far are the authorizes really honest in the implementation. Look at the small “Air Hitam Forestry” in Selangor for an example. How dare some developers ask a piece of it for redevelopment. However in some cases redevelopment that requires logging can be forgiven after studies and all. But imagine logging in the middle of the jungle just because for the economy of a few greedy people ? I’m some have valid reasons but dare I say only some.

I will explain/cover more on this in my next entry as I’m too tired to update/write. I will continue my study on this matter and share my finding with you guys someday. So stay tuned to many other v2 v3 and so on until someone UP THERE really hears and takes action. What are your thoughts on this? To the authorities, give us proof that logging is under control and No illegal logging is happening anymore. Yes You! If you know something fishy is happening, please do something or at least share with us. How could future generations enjoy nature like these -> scenery1, scenery2 and scenery3 . What will 2050 look like?

cheers,

“together, Let’s save our dying tropical forest”
