Over fishing, wastage of fish and competing in fish catch need to be studied and guided. One day we will have problems in fish supply, high cost and contaminated fishes.

Nowadays very difficult to get crowd for seminar or conference. We need conferences for recruiting young scientists and develop networking. At the same time we can expose scientists celebrities.

Finally the EcoTrail comes to the end. All competition gone well not just to get prizes but to enjoy green of Putrajaya. This is the first EcoTrail outside Europe. Beside celebrating ending of EcoTrail where MNS is the coorganiser, meeting and exchange ideas and information with seniour officers of Ministry of Tourism, Tourism Malaysia and Putrajaya is very important. many we can share and collaborating in promoting green city..May be we need to plant more "Merbau" trees (Intsia palembanica) as it is a national tree of Malaysia.

Everybody must support this seminar. Ulu Muda is very important for water supply in Kedah, Penang and Perlis. Water from Ulu Muda support important products such as rice from MADA, semiconductor industry in Penang, Tourism in Penang and Langkawi and healthy life of human population in the northern Malays peninsular.. Therefore Ulu Muda must be protected, managed and managed, Public education must be done quickly to reduce all conflicts on Ulu Muda. Ulu Muda must be protected and gazetted as State Park.

More than 50 years we are talking about green house effects, Ozone layer, Green house gaseous, increase of urban temperatures, global warming and recently we are repeating again on Climate Change. Rio summit and Paris agreement highlighted the climate change. Surely we have technology and ways to solve the climate change. We must be honours in the issues. Public must get good knowledge in climate change to pressure the authorities. Basic principle may be reduce carbon emmision and burning of the fossil fuels. Think about it.

Picture below is another MNS contribution supporting KATS in tiger and elephant conservation campaign. We need more funds to support MNS movement in nature conservation. As Malaysia is top 12 Megabiodiversity in the world we need government support in recognising MNS involvement and private sectors in financial support.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is the oldest nature based society in Malaysia. MNS is going to celebrate 80th anniversary next year (2020). MNS have 14 branches all over the country and active educating public in protecting, conserving and managing nature especially all protected forest and important habitat for wildlife. MNS thanks to the government who always support MNS and collaborating in promoting habitat protection, The picture below was taken in Merbok in conjunction with world mangrove day celebration. Mangrove in Merbok, Sungai Petani and Jerai Geopark are very important for nature conservation, habitat foe wild life and tourism. Both Chief Minister Mukhriz and KATS minister Xavier are very commited in nature conservation and supporting MNS vision and mission. Thank you Ministers

We need to improve Taman Botani in Putrajaya. Later we will have national history museum

Both General Secretary of MESTECC and KSN mentioned about MNS in their speech and talking about single use plastic, changing life style, function of woman, habit need to be checked. Using brown bags such as in developed countries. Managing plastic pollution is very important because in order to keep environment especially marine environment free from plastic. We need to promote more 3R habit and understand about plastic pollution.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is at another international activity. Ecotrail at Putrajaya. May be MNS will get some money from participants registration fees. This is actually another recognition by the world community.

Asian Water Birds Censors is one of the important activities involving all asian countries. We are collaborating in monitoring and counting birds. In order to have an effective way of monitoring and counting birds MNS carried out series of training to members all over the country. Through our active experts and long years experience MNS members in birding will train new participants in bird survey. IBA need to be assessed to know their status. sometimes the areas need to be maintain to support birds populations.

Promoting Important Bird Area MY11 at Kuala Selangor Nature Park. Selangor coast is one of the important migratory birds area, Some area such as KSNP can be proposed as the Ramsar Site. We involve palace for effective conservation programme.

Many surprise cases where village near dam and forests where we keep huge amount of water have no water. So we need to help them and education the villagers on water saving and source of water. at the same time no solid waste dumping in the river where Malaysian depending on surface water for consemption.

Continuous contribution by Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) in promoting nature protection, conservation and management. Pictures below are in conjunction with National Mangrove Day celebration and International Elephant day, Convincing the authorities are very important.

We develop the contact, the foreign scientists trust us and like to collaborate with us BUT we do not have enough strength to follow up. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to visit their laboratories and then bring them here in my laboratory. I have long term planning so that the younger scientists can follow. I can see now the trend of lecturers in Malaysia is different compared to when I was young lecturer.

After twelve series we should have good film on nature by the Malaysian. The winner this time from Indonesia. Hopefully next year more Malaysian will participate in this ecofilm festival.

In Ulu Muda may be no more tiger, no more seladang and no more banting. May be many read this report in the New Straits Time, Comment by the President MNS need to be well elaborate and justify all services given by Ulu Muda Forest.

Something strange for loggerhead turtle in Penang. This is probably new opportunity for scientists to study the migration of turtle. Should collaborate with other scientists such as Phuket Marine Biological Center.

This picture was taken in 2014 some where in Perth. At that time I did not focus on plastic pollution BUT I am sure we can see plastics on the beach. Plastic pollution is a global issues.

Budget 2020 this time allocated some money for biodiversity and conservation. We need to manage the money wisely in order to achieve the objectives. May be small money if we want to tackle all aspects of biodiversity and conservation. With strong commitment, integrated approach and good governance probably we can do it.

Green movement and go green campaign ste increasing now. This show that public demand in green si increasing. We need to have more education programmes and talk to bring more public concern on environment. Green way of lifestyle need to be practice in all communities.

We need to check again our systems, staff integrity, skills and knowledge and technologies needed at our boarders if we want to solve wildlife smuggling in our country. HOW MNS can Help????

The demand of artificial hands becoming popular and the productions are in demand. Hopefully agencies like UPM Universiti Putra Malaysia can help. With research team in robotic and computer sciences surely can help in quality production of artificial hands.

MNS Malaysian Nature Society collaborating with other in green movement. As seniour green society about time MNS collaborating with others especially the new emerging green society or movement. Education is extremely important. School children should have a uniform way of educating school children at different levels.

MNS Malaysian Nature Society cannot stop from continuous intelectual discussion on the nature and environmental issues. MNS have 14 branches and 500 KPA schools in the country surely very important and strong society in educating public to protect, conserve and manage the nature.

Media plays important roles in delivering messages to public. Environmental issues and scientists contribution seldom promoted in the media compared to artists and entertainment. Thank you to media..

Another new opening for future collaboration between France and Malaysia on urban pollution. Kuala Lumpur and Paris will collaborate in sharing information and technologies controlling air pollution including transboundary pollution. We need more young scientists.

About time we take proactive actions in protecting wildlife, road kills, poaching and habitat shrinking. I think should be immediate actions. State and Federal government must be together in protecting, conserving and managing wildlife.

Another community service at Bukit Cherakah Community. A collaboration between MNS (Malaysian Nature Society) , Polytechnic Shah Alam and Universiti Putra Malaysia UPM.

Promoting artificial hands by Sujana Rejab the Star Golden Heart Award winner at UPM. Probably UPM can champion this through robotic teams. A lot of people in the world need this hand. BUT I think the exiting model can be improved for better technology

Academia Day. Ministry of Education launched Academia Day to be celebrated every 5th of October. Academia should be in front in all fields and professional.
