ABSTRAK
This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of land exploitation in Malaysia, delving into its causes and multifaceted consequences. Rapid economic development and urbanization in Malaysia have escalated the demand for land resources, leading to widespread land exploitation. The lack of comprehensive studies underscores the need for transparent research on this subject. The consequences of land exploitation are profound, impacting the environment, society, and the economy. Destructive practices result in habitat loss, deforestation, and ecological imbalances. Indigenous communities, vital ecosystems, and biodiversity face threats. Political, economic, and social factors fuel this problem. In conclusion, holistic approaches, policy reforms, and transparency are crucial to mitigate the ongoing and detrimental effects of land exploitation in Malaysia.
