UPDATES from HQ and COUNCIL
Malaysian Highland Network
This is a fairly recent event, where several NGOs got together and established themselves, basically to look into highland development. The NGOs are MNS, WWF, Wetness International, SAM & CAP.

The key work here would be sustainable development and gathering of information would be the primary mode of the Group.  The MHN is at an infancy stage, they have yet to establish what or how MNS in particular the branches and its members could contribute. For the moment, it would appear that the primary mode of information gathering is what we can do. If any of you happen to see some form of development or clearing of land/jungle/reserves, please inform any committee members and this feed back will be channeled to MNS HQ.

The observation made need not be of an expert so long as any unwarranted development or clearing, be it alarming or not. We have made a request from HQ to provide some kind of checklist to assist us in our observation. If such a checklist is done, we will attach it together in future issue. Till that time feed backs are appreciated.
