Environmental policy and administrative management

This project aims to conserve and sustainably use the rich biodiversity of the Malaysian rainforest in Kampung Bertang, Lipis, Pahang and to prevent further depletion of various endangered species of fauna and flora (eg. agarwood) by encouraging, initially, the indigenous Orang Asli Temuan communities to reclaim their rights as keepers of the rainforest and to be self-aware of the implication of future developments in order for them to adapt accordingly. This is further reinforced by enhancing the capabilities and capacities of the Orang Asli local communities with the self-empowerment of their indigenous knowledge and the sustainable usage of the surrounding environment.
