Mystical Tasik Chini

Tasik Chini, a lake mystified by it's dragon and sunken Khmer city
and the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Malaysia
but yet it's slowly dying,
by the human hands who is suppose to protect it.

    What a waste that will be if this disappeared.

    many of our rivers here are dying, too.
    it's sad that with all our talents, humans can be quite destructive, too.

      lina,
      it's dying because of land clearing,logging,mining,plantation around the lake
      and some wise guy dammed the outlet river of the lake.

    Oh gosh - I thought biosphere reserves were supposed to be looked after by the people in the area. So sad.
