URGENT! Logging activities in progress!

May 14, Local residents were surprised to see a number of people setting up a temporary camp near a small hill just by the side of Jalan Terbat-Mapu in Tebakang. It was found out later that they were all workers of a logging company. However, it is not known if the logging company is legal or illegal.

Legal or not, this coming logging activities will surely destroy the beauty of the affected areas, the rivers and lots more. River water will turn from crystal clear to muddy. The already damaged Jalan Terbat-Mapu will surely turn into god knows what. Jalan Mongkos too will also be damaged! The safety of the local residents is also in question. With timber trucks going through the heart of some villages, terrible accidents can easily happen.

Now, can anybody out there help to find out more about this issue and let everybody knows about it?
