Under Malaysia’s federal system, state governments hold authority over most regulations regarding land usage and environmental protection.
In the Bornean states of Sabah and Sarawak, home to most of Malaysia’s remaining intact forests, politicians push against perceived interference from the central government, particularly when it comes to resource management.
Since the late 1960s, Malaysian Borneo lost much of its forest: first to timber and later to palm oil and other agricultural industries.
Both states have laws on the books aimed at protecting and managing forests, as well as sustainable forestry and palm oil certification schemes. Experts on forest management and conservation see cause for both optimism and skepticism.

The Court of Appeal of Sri Lanka held in the case C.A. WRIT 291/2015 - which is now better known as the Wilpattu judgement, that the re-settlement of the IDPs in an area of over 3,000 Ha from Marichchikaddi, Kallaru, Vilaththikulam, Madhu, Periyamadu and Sannar forest in the Mannar District since 2009, has been made contrary to law. 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.
