Sg. Lukah Freshwater Wetlands, Ulu Sedili Kechil

If you have been reading the MNS yahoogroups e mail, some of our members have visited the Sg. Lukah wetlands, which is located between Tanjung Balau and Jason Bay. The wetlands were inadvertently "discovered" by Vincent Chow (MNSJ advisor) and Dr. Ismid Said (MNSJ Council member), when both were doing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for a biotech company wanting to develop the land, which includes the said wetlands.

We proceeded on with our journey to Similajau National Park today, with excursions not too far from the park's administrative office. The trip was still rather challenging, mostly because we still had "Pak Bedal" on our minds. A skeletal sample of the crocodilian was available for viewing before we started moving. Several signages warning hikers taking the same rail reinforced the healthy distribution of Pak Bedal within the area to outsiders. We had to be on the lookout.

Adventure in Similajau

My initial intention was to do a proper write-up of the events that transpired today, however, I am just too tired from the field work to think straight and produce a plausible piece, though my excitement to share the photos taken during the survey is still overwhelming; it would be suffice to say that we went to several locations in Similajau that is generally "un-touched" by industrial development except for some logging.
