The Selangor state government's proposed degazettement of more than 900ha of the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (KLNFR) has brought many civil society groups together to try and save this important peat swamp forest, teeming with biodiversity. It is also home to the Temuan OA community. The campaign took off just before MCO. Faizal Parish and Shaq Koyok will update us on this issue in the upcoming JEDI ZOOM session
