The role of driving force-pressure-state-impact-response(DPSIR) framework on Penang National Park

The Penang National Park (PNP), previously known as Pantai Acheh forest, is one of the few remaining natural heritages in Northern Peninsular Malaysia, Although THe PNP is not a virgin forest as timber extraction has been carried out in the 1910s to 1930s, it still has unique features, which include...
