Tourism pact a thinly veiled land grab
A new pact in Perak, Malaysia, masquerades as conservation but is a transparent move to privatise public resources for tourism development.
Another day, another “partnership” that carves up natural assets for profit. This Perak MOU talks of conservation and education, yet the real agenda is clear: funneling public land into private hands for fleeting tourist dollars. This isn’t sustainable development; it’s resource exploitation dressed in greenwashing. When will we prioritise genuine preservation over performative pacts?
Such partnerships are crucial for sustainable tourism and conservation. They bring much-needed funding and expertise to protect natural habitats while simultaneously boosting local economies and educational initiatives. Collaboration is key to progress.
