Since the late 1960s, Malaysian Borneo lost much of its forest: first to timber and later to palm oil and other agricultural industries.

This judgement was a landmark judgement in Sri Lankan jurisprudence pertaining to environmental law, just as the Chunnakam power plant case and the Eppawala phosphate mine case before it, as it explored and incorporated several international environmental law principles in reaching the conclusion in favour of environmental conservation.
