The Masterplan will be a contributory initiative to the overall vision for the CFS which states, “To Establish A Viable and Contiguous or Connected Conservation Area Comprising Both Forest and Non-Forest Areas That Will Be Maintained As The Green Lung of The Environmentally Sensitive Area Network In Peninsular Malaysia.”

- Linkage strategies in creating connectivity, linking significant forest complexes or forest islands, where primary and secondary linkages are identified.
- Recommendations or interventions, initiatives and actions to undertake recommended linkage strategies and proposals.
- Funding and implementation mechanism to facilitate implementation of connective corridors.
The importance and need of connectivity between fragmented forest complexes includes:
- Conservation of Environment and Biodiversity.
- Protection and Management of Water Catchments.
- Exploitation of Nature-based Tourism and Recreational Potentials.
