Tropical deforestation is one of the most acute ecological tragedies of our modern age. Conserving the world's tropical forests is a struggle in which the international community has largely failed; and it continues at a frightening rate, of more than 7 million hectares per year. Forests of Hope is changing the way the world’s tropical forests are managed

Just to remember again the Youth Environmental Expo 2012. Probably we do it every two years. Thank you for all who make the event a successful one.

Critically endangered river terrapins are bred and released to replenish their declining numbers in the wild. More research to provide knowledge and creating awareness among the public and assisting the authorities for better management and conservation. http://www.thestar.com.my/Lifestyle/Features/2014/10/20/Rare-river-terrapins-get-a-shot-at-survival/

The East Asian-Australasian Flyway extends from within the Arctic Circle, through East and South-east Asia, to Australia and New Zealand, stretching across 22 countries.A flyway is the entire range of a migratory bird species (or groups of related species or distinct populations of a single species) through which it moves on an annual basis from the breeding grounds to non-breeding areas, including intermediate resting and feeding places as well as the area within which the birds migrate.
There are nine major migratory flyways around the world.
- Atlantic Americas Flyway
- Black Sea/Mediterranean Flyway
- Central Asian Flyway
- East Asian-Australasian Flyway
- East Atlantic Flyway
- Mississippi Americas Flyway
- Pacific Americas Flyway
- West Asian-East African Flyway
- West Pacific Flyway
Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) organised WOW (Wings over Wetlands) inconjunction with FOW (Festival of Wings) every year to celebrate winter migration of waders from northern hemisphere and back in October-March and promoting understand, awareness and supporting conservation of important birds areas (IBA) in cluding mangrove areas such as Kuala Selangor Nature Parks (KSNP).

Another good approach to preserve Langkawi Green. What we can do together. Operators are important to help the authority. This initiative is first step to bring the hotel operators together and later others such as taxi, hawkers and local public. To achieve this education is important. this is where MNS will involve.

Please click on your country of interest to find further details on your local Science Film Festival.
During rainy season, water level increase and old wood and logs after logging floating in the river tributaries and go the the lakes. This may change the ecology of the rivers and lakes. Need more studies to understand better hydrological effects of tropical forests such as Belum-Temenggor Forest Complex.
Wings over the Wetlands WoW or before we called Festival of Wings FOW, an annual event for the migratory shore birds come to main important birds area in Kuala Selangor along the Asian Australia Flyway. Soon Kuala Selangor Nature Parks and part of Selangor River will be another Ramsar Site in Malaysia.
