Yes, we all have our opinions on what Cameron Highlands is going through now. Many of us have suffered. But let us start to make a difference, to make Cameron Highlands a better place. Join us this Saturday 7th of March 2015 to reforest the “moth eaten “Gunung Siku.
This reforestation event is organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment NRE with the participation of 4 NGOs namely REACH, MNS , PEKA and KUASA. This would be one of the first of the many reforestation activities we hope to have with NRE under “the Greening of Cameron Highlands Program.” The deforested areas include those illegal land clearings in the Forest Reserve taken back by the Government recently
