The Potential of Geopark in Kenong, Kuala Lipis, Malaysia THE POTENTIAL OF GEOPARK IN KENONG, KUALA LIPIS, MALAYSIA Noor Izzan Nordin, Civil Engineering Department, Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah E-mail: [email protected] Zuraini Din, Civil Engineering Department, Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah E-mail: [email protected] Noriza Mat Hashim Civil Engineering Department, Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah E-mail: [email protected] Abstract National Geoparks create awareness of the importance of geological processes for the development of the earth’s surface, the distribution of natural resources. Nowadays, growing public awareness of the necessity for the conservation and protection of geological and geomorphological features and play an important role in our ecosystem. This study is to propose Kenong as a future of Geoparks. The objectives of study are to promote geological heritage to the public as well as to support sustainable economic development of the area through the development of geological tourism. Qualitative methods are use in collecting data and the instrument used is observations. The main findings are Geofeatures inventory and issues, concerns and opportunities based on the parameter. Kenong has the characteristics which are a Geopark has to encompass a particular geological heritage, with specific geological and geomorphological features. Both of them are important in terms of their scientific quality, rarity, aesthetic appeal or educational value. Keywords: Geopark, Heritage, Geoscience education, Sustainable development 1. Introduction A Geopark location contains a few geologically or geomorphological features. This location is a unified area that advances the protection and use of geological heritage in a sustainable way and also promotes the economic well-being of the people who live there. According to the UNESCO, Global Geopark Network (2006), a Geopark is defined as a territory with a particular geological heritage of international significance, rarity or aesthetic appeal which is developed as part of an integrated concept of conservation, education and local economic development. National Geoparks create awareness of the importance of geological processes for the development of the Earth’s surface, the distribution of natural resources, land use and also the economic and cultural history. A Geopark must have a sufficiently large surface area to develop a sustainable development strategy. It must have a clear boundary and it must be managed by a clearly defined management structure. Zouros & Valiakos (2010), stated a Geopark requires an efficient, flexible and possible management plan or guidelines in order to maintain the originality, quality and sustainability of the geo-heritage area. All Geoparks must not only be active by local means, but also by the means of the Geopark community, and thus cooperate on mutual projects and exchange of ideas for the improvement of promoting their activities. Geoparks are run by local communities which can recognise and wish to confirm their geological, historical and cultural heritage. Geoparks give local people a sense of pride in their region and strengthen their identification with the area. Geoparks use their activities to attract a large number of visitors and enable the founding of different manufacturing and utilities which help improve the social-economic development of the community. Thus, the important geological features within the Geopark area must be accessible to visitors. The creation of innovative local enterprises, new jobs and high-quality training courses is stimulated as new sources of revenue are generated through geo-tourism, while the geological resources of the area are protected. The objectives of study are to promote geological heritage to the public as well as to support sustainable economic development of the area through the development of geological tourism. 2. Area of Study The name of the area proposed for inclusion in the Global UNESCO Network of Geoparks is the “Kenong Geopark”. The proposed of Geopark site is located at Kenong, Kuala Lipis in Lipis district of Pahang, Malaysia. Lipis District is located in the Northern Corridor Pahang economic activities focused on agriculture, mining and forestry. The site is one of place are rich the geological and geomorphological features. The area of study is Kenong. Preface the geological heritage interest of Kenong is based primarily on three factors, i.e., a large continuous sedimentary series, a network of rivers that exposing this sedimentary series and the scarcity of population and industrial development have preserved geological heritage in optimal conditions for study. 3. The Content Analysis Study Qualitative methods are use in collecting data and the instrument used is observations. 3.1 Geology and Geomorphology Inventory Table 1 below shows the inventory for geology and geomorphology for Yong Reserve Forest, Kenong Rimba Park, Forested State land outside Hutan Simpan Yong and villages.

    Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT) Walk PLUS Frequent Ask Question (FAQ) (ver.2019-11-19) 1. CAT Walk in brief The CAT Walk offers an opportunity for the public to be involved in the protection of tigers (including other wildlife) and their habitat at the Sungai Yu Tiger Corridor in Merapoh, Pahang. The Corridor, which is the last remaining natural connection between the Titiwangsa Main Range and the Taman Negara in Peninsular Malaysia, is an area known for poaching, forest encroachment, and illegal mining to take place. CAT Walk volunteers report the finding of such crimes to the MYCAT Wildlife Crime Hotline (019-356 4194) who relays the information to authorities for enforcement action. 2. What to expect on a CAT Walk? While trekking and enjoying the great outdoors, CAT Walk volunteers will look for signs of poaching (i.e. snares, traps) and encroachment (i.e. campsite, illegal logging, and mining) as well as animal signs (pugmarks, claw marks on trees, etc.). Some routes are also good for bird watching. Do expect to get: mosquito/insect/leech bites; wet in rain/river/sweat; or sunburnt (a hat and/or sunblock would come in handy). Trek conditions: A CAT Walk route might be one or a combination of these situations: wet/muddy path, flat or hilly trail, gradual or steep climb/descent, walking along/across railway tracks, walking on animal trails, walking along/across rivers with waist-deep water. The trails are not on platform boardwalks. Please take note that smoking or vaping is not allowed in the forest area. 3.

  • Environment of Placer Gold Deposits in Northern Pahang
    Geol. Soc. Malaysia, Bulletin 26, April 1990; pp. 1-11 Environment of placer gold deposits in northern Pahang TAN TEONG HING AND LIM KIN LEONG J abatan Geologi Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi Abstract: Deposition of placer gold in northern Pahang began contemporaneously with the deposition of the Tertiary Bed within subsiding basins. The Tertiary Bed is characterized by subbituminous coal seams in which some fine gold are present as mineral matter. Further downwarping, solution of limestone bedrock, and rising of sea level, the subsiding basins were aggraded by Old Alluvium. The disposition of the basins, on a relatively flat terrain adjacent to the towering Gunung Berentin, in which the host rocks of gold occur, provides the necessary topographic contrast which is essential for the separation of gold, other heavy minerals, and gravels and cobbles from the stream load. The gravel-cobble layer of the Old Alluvium contains pay streaks of gold. The Young Alluvium has only trilces of gold. INTRODUCTION Though tin-mining has been and perhaps may continue to be one ofthe major mining industries in Peninsular Malaysia, exploration and mining for gold are on the increase these days, particularly with the high gold price. Though gold has often been won as a by-product from several tin placers (e.g. Bidor), the major gold producing areas are located in the Central Belt of the peninsula (Hosking, 1973). Most of the small to medium scale mine operators recover gold from alluvial deposits, adopting the techniques commonly used iQ.. tin-mining, viz., hydraulic jets, sluices and pans. This paper discusses the geology and the depositional environment of placer gold occurring in the Merapoh basin which is situated in north Pahang within the Central Belt of the peninsula.
