Support needed for Ulu Muda
The MNS Kedah Branch in a letter said its members were elated by news that the Kedah state government was revoking logging permits in Ulu Muda. Stating that the rich biodiversity of the 162,000ha forest was yet to be explored, it said MNS had initiated a large-scale and long-term scientific expedition of Ulu Muda, following a public forum and workshop in January, and the branch would be seeking approval and support for this important venture.

MNS Kedah has undertaken several actions towards the realisation of the Scientific Expedition, including a public forum and a seminar attended by researchers, activists and ecologists.
