KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry will draft a new law next year which is aimed at strengthening the management and implementation of traditional knowledge on biological resources.

"In this context, the government will intensify its efforts to enhance
public awareness on the importance of traditional knowledge on biological
resources, besides ensuring that its heritage is well preserved," he said at the
opening of national seminar on Traditional Knowledge On Biodiversity in
Malaysia, here Thursday.
