Many people in the world are talking about climate change from business to academic, from politician to industry and administrative to general public. From IR4.0, SDG 2030 to 5G. But how far we can solve the issues. more people need to be educated and governments must show their commitment. NGO will suppport.

Tree Planting should be don all Malaysian. Just join and pay for the tree planting, We should have one area for public to plant trees.

We need hero or unsung hero to support the conservation of wildlife especially tapir. 27 April is World tapir Day..

We need to be proactive not just ceremonial. MNS can work with UPM, Petronas and Shell for environment.

May be we need to meet regularly with all former leaders to refresh our ideas on our directions and adaptation. we need to review our plan so that in line with current trends for the effective actions. Sometimes we are too comfortable with our position then we forgot about our future, moving towards developed country, lecturers in the universities are very important.

May be about time we are looking at our own product. After 60 years independent and our success in training our own scientists, we should respect of our own achievement. Try to develop this idea and continue this finding for future indicator for all environmental issues..

Media have good coverage on the issue of degazetting Kuala Langat North Peat Swamp Forest, the important peat swamp in Peninsular Malaysia.

Exploring virgin forest at Kuala Langat North Peat Swamp Forest to assess the potential of rehabilitation. Areas that involve in forest fire and over harvested by orang asli need to be replanted. The local community starting to have nursery and planting activities supervised by GEC (Global Environment Centre).

not that easy to fight with business people and politician. Poor orang asli surely loss. The NGOs must help them, not just for their rights but for the environment and biodiversity. Especially in this case Kuala Langat Peat Swamp Forest Reserve.

In Bangkok they try to promote bamboo cups. Look like bamboo can be popular in the future in our daily life including bamboo in building infrastructure. How far research on bamboo in Malaysia.

in term of policy and commitment at the international levels, Malaysia is leading in nature conservation. But we still have problems in forest degradation, wildlife poaching and smuggling activities. We need to work harder to educate the public to support government policies on nature conservation.

Sustainability of forest is depending on all stakeholders especially the local community beside the politician and government officers. Not that easy to educate the politician and the government officers may be because of thier position and less pressure from public. To make them listen we talk on media. Thank you media for supporting our proposal.

Visiting Piasau Nature Reserve. Congratulation MNS MIRI and Sarawak State Government for the recognition.

Good to have the government support in conservation. This helmetted hornbils is under pressure. Knowledge, awareness, research, laws and enforcement are very important. All Nature based NGO must come forward to support hornbills conservation.

Another place that need support from public, private company, state government and international's interested parties such as BirdLife International (MNS Partner in conservation). This area must be protedted and conserved for the migratory birds, tourism and nature education.

It is bad if the voice of scientists, nature lovers and local public is ignored. We need to advice the politician, administrators and business people correctly. All must be educated enough how to manage reserve forest and what benefit we can get from the forest services. Malaysia is high biodiversity country and worrying about climate change.

Education is a continuous activities. It can be similar but to different people. Thank you and congratulation ASIS who organise the international Essay Competition on wildlife for last 10 years. This year is on elephant, last year was on tiger. the got very good respons and very competitive.We need more activities like this to bring young generation on creativity and generating ideas and information on wildlife protection and competition.

Plantimg merbau tree at Merbau Avenue Taman Botani Putrajaya. Thank you Taman Botani for the opportunity. We need more people to plant trees and more supporters. We should reduce number of people who destroy forest and cutting trees. In fact degraded forest too can be improved if we know how to do it. Education and research are continuously needed.

NGOs need to work harder to educate public on nature and the important of nature conservation. Peat Swamp conservation remain conflict when we do not understand ecology.

I managed to get some one to highlight about World Wetland day on the 2nd February 2020. This time we talked about Timah Tasoh in Perlis IBA MY01. We urge the authorities give special attention for lake to be protected for water, biodiversity and recreation. The area need to have more plants on land and water including improving the buffer zones.

We must talk when we have the opportunity. Not many people have similar opportunity. Media play important roles and the ideas regarding conservation must be repeated from time to time to get support and increase understanding and awareness among public.

Opportunity to get celebrities especially from the palace to support promoting conservation of wetland, in this case Kuala Selangor Nature Part, we need to remember it and keep promoting so that public and government will give continuous attention and keep the areas for future generations beside protecting nature for the ecosystem services.

MNS will celebrate 21th Raptor Watch on 14&&15 March 2020. Thie yer will see another 3000 participants and volunteers will involve. MNS need firm recognition by the government to protect habitat along the migration route of this unique creatures.

25th Anniversary celebration of Academy Science Malaysia (ASM) not just to celebrate the age of ASM but to assess the significant contribution and achievements of ASM in advising the government. In my nearly 4 years active involvement with ASM, I can see the active and significant of ASM to the country. We need more participation of ASM Fellows in issues highlighted by MNS to improve science in the country.

MNS and BirdLife International are partners in protecting Key Biodiversity Areas (Foemally called IBA, Important Birds Area). We met regularly to coordinate our activities in conservation activities.

Tasik Bera is another important wetland. Unfortunately it is not IBA, Important Bird Area. We need to assess the area for IBA. Local public, the Orang Asli, politician and the government officers and other must be together to protect the area as Ramsar Site and important wetland.
