The Selangor State Park is about 108,300 hectares in size and is the longest stretch of contiguous forest in Selangor. The Park protects Selangor’s share of the Central Forest Spine – or the Main Range. The Park needs your help to ensure its full conservation!
Why does it need our help? Apparently the government intends to build a KL Outer Ring Road which will cut through the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge which sits in the Selangor State Park.
The Klang Gates Quartz Ridge is a world-class geological monument that is internationally recognized for the size, scale and splendor of its quartz dyke - the longest in the world -and, if not disturbed any more, stands every chance to be declared a World Heritage. And this is within the Selangor State Park which is also the vital resources we need to live - fresh air, clean water and so much more.
Now I have hiked up part of the ridge, and the view is breathtaking and the forest is absolutely beautiful. Haven't we damaged Mother Nature enough? On one side the government is saying that we need to we need to save the environment and our natural resources and on the other hand they want to cut down this park for further development.
Give Mother Nature a break, sign the petition on this site: www.petitiononline.com/KLORR/petition.html
