KOTA KINABALU, June 15 — The state’s environmental authorities are monitoring the site of a silica mining project in northern Sabah, said Environmental Protection Department director Vitalis Moduying.
“So far, the developers have complied with all regulatory requirements,” he said during a press conference here today. Locals in the area who rely on the sea for their livelihood fear the project could destroy the pristine coastal ecosystem and deprive them of an income. Earlier, WWF-Malaysia conservation director Dr Henry Chan said that the state must strike a balance between economic development and environmental conservation.
