An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approved a gold mining project in Kelantan’s Gunung Stong Reserve despite environmental risks. The site overlaps with habitats of endangered and vulnerable species, including Malayan tapirs, Asian elephants, and sun bears. It lies within the Central Forest Spine, a critical ecological corridor for wildlife, and the Central Gold Belt, known for gold deposits. Concerns include deforestation, potential soil erosion, and increased flooding risks, with a wildlife management plan recommended to mitigate impacts.
