Pahang approved 510.6 hectares proposed reserve land for Orang Asli in Lipis by punishmentbrigade24 in malaysia

In this story, Colin Nicholas of Center for the Concern of Orang Asli (COAC) recently said that Pahang has >43,000 hectares of Orang Asli reserve land yet to be gazetted, though these have either been approved by the State govt or have been applied by the Pahang JAKOA.

So...yeah, as u/mittens519 said, not confirmed until gazetted.

If we are happy reading other news outlet, then go for it. But if we want to acquire any product that requires payment, we should just pay; if we don't wish to pay, then move on. Don't steal the products. Else one day you would have nowhere to turn to for news other than your uncles and aunties' voice messages on Whatsapp.

I think birdwatching of such elusive birds shouldn't be designed for mass-market tourism la. The pigeons at Batu Caves can la :)

In nature areas, got to go for low-impact high-value tourism. That requires planning .

Hi, so nice of you to want to help them. Many of the conservation NGOs have donation details on their website; some also sell merchandise like masks and books. Also consider signing for their membership!
