Why Malaysia MUST adopt biodiversity as country's priority? Everybody are talking right fron the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Kings, Professors, researchers, journalist, artists, NOGs, School kids, and many more. About time we do serious campaign bring all Malaysian together for Biodiversity.

I have been talking in many places why Malaysia is very serious on biodiversity.
1. We are top mega biodiversity in the world. World recognized it and become nature lover attraction. This is promoted as ecotourism. Malaysian protected forest are gazzeted for biodiversity. Malaysia agreed with many international agreement related to biodiversity. Malaysia have its own biodiversity policy (National Biodiversity Policy). Almost all ministries have their own activities related to environmental education, nature, green and biodiversity.
2. Malay Rulers already mention in their "Wasiat Raja-raja Melayu" that at least 50 % of forest and mountains need to be preserved and protected for the future generations. This means that forest (including highland forest) for biodiversity and water resources for human use now and the future.
3. As a Islamic country, Malaysia have to adopt what mentioned and instructed in the Al-Quran regarding biodiversity. Human as a Khalifa is ordered to take care of the world and environment and they will be punished if they cannot do it. Refer to many statements in the Al-Quran regarding nature and the environment and research on nature.


Based on these three strong points, Government already taken a strong initiative for biodiversity based on policy, law and regulations. What we need public tosupport. Te Professors need to be in front.
