Gunung Stong State Park Preliminary Management Plan GSSP and its resources). Nevertheless, the guiding services should not be the monopoly of BAT guides alone; others can also operate within the park, provided they are MOT- certified. Privatisation or outsourcing of services are provided for, in Section 8 (2)(b) of the Forest State Park Rules 2002 of the National Forestry (Amendment) (Adoption) Enactment 1994 for the privatisation of services within the state park. Guiding and facility operations are services that could be privatised. 6.17 Environmental Education Within the area surrounding GSSP, there are numerous schools where nature clubs (Kelab Pencinta Alam) could be formed, in collaboration with the Education Department, Department of the Environment (which already runs a programme called Nature Warrior), the WWF-Malaysia, and the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), upon which, nature appreciation programmes and courses could be conducted within GSSP. It is recommended that a nature interpretation centre, similar to the one in Endau-Rompin National Park, be established within the Intensive Use Zone of the park. Initially, the schools along the road between Dabong and Jeli could be targeted, and later on the programme could be expanded to include schools in other areas. The objective of the nature club programme would be to turn GSSP into a premier nature education centre in the region, and at the same time to increase conservation awareness and encourage the formation of a site support group among the young locals. The following schools located between Dabong and Jeli should be the initial targets for such a programme: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) (xii) Sekolah Menengah Jeli Maktab Rendah Sains Mara, Jeli Sekolah Kebangsaan Jeli Sekolah Kebangsaan Lubok Bungor Sekolah Kebangsaan Kubur Datuk Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Jering Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Balah Sekolah Menengah Kuala Balah Sekolah Kebangsaan Mempelam, Jelawang Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Mahligai Sekolah Kebangsaan Kemubu Sekolah Kebangsaan Biak In later phases, the programme could be expanded to include other schools within the state, and later on, perhaps even regionally, to include the state of Trengganu as well. A heightened level of conservation consciousness among the young will reap benefits in the form of sustainable lifestyles, and the corresponding reduction in waste production, and other forms of environmental abuse. 6.18 Networking and Collaboration with Other PAs There are some 40 protected areas in Malaysia, ranging from the tiny, 4ha Sg. Bukit Puteh Wildlife Reserve (KL), to the 434,000 ha Taman Negara National Park, managed under different agencies. However, there is as yet, no formal association nor a network of protected area managers. This situation is far from ideal as, at the very least, a loose network is necessary for the sharing of ideas and innovations in park management, given the 98
Gunung Stong State Park Preliminary Management Plan commonalities of problems and issues across the many protected areas. Increased networking among PA authorities and managers could lead to collaborations in certain areas of park management, training and research. Park managers should not perceive other protected areas as competitors, but instead collaborate in cross-selling and cross promotions, as each protected area have their own niche that differentiates them from others.
