The Ulu Muda forests serve the water needs of over four million people in Penang, Kedah and Perlis.
SAM president Meenakshi Raman said international funding from the Green Climate Fund, the Adaptation Fund and the Global Environment Facility could help states such as Kedah protect their forests instead of letting them be logged. She added that this would allow Malaysia to meet its international commitments under the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity.
In the meantime, Meenakshi said, the Kedah government should focus on gazetting forests as water catchment forests if this had not already been done.
