The tremendous increase in environmental movements including researches studies and non-governmental organization actions are the manifestation of environmental concern towards the scarcity of natural resources and biodiversity. The collectivism attitude in preserving the resources are still not much and proactive since the monetary value that can be gained from the direct exploitation or depletion of the natural resources seems to be more profitable and advantageous for certain people. Is it worth to deplete the resources without sustaining it or is it better to exploit it in an appropriate and reasinable manner Nevertheless it is important to bear in mind that the sustainable exploitation for agrofood and national food security agenda is amongst the critical priority by the government. Undeniably there is a conflict of interest between the agricultural industry and managers of natural resources to meet up the national challenge and vision to bring the agricultural industry to a higher level; and at the same time preserving the invaluable natural resources. This paper discusses a case study of Tasek Bera Forest Reserve as internalizing the issues and problems existing here such as the disturbances of the biodiversity and its ecosystems the dimensions that contribute to the problems and generally describing the appropriate strategies to encounter particular matters. A series of physical observations and discussions with the stakeholders have been carried out in order to obtain the important information and current problems existing in this area.
