Bio-diversity

This capacity-building pilot project aims to introduce conservation training among the indigenous Semai community in Ulu Geroh, Perak to conserve and sustainably manage the threatened Rafflesia plant and the Rajah Brooke birdwing butterfly. This will be done by providing the Semai with training on nature guiding, sustainable Rajah Brooke birdwing butterfly farming, and creating a conservation area to protect the Rafflesia and Rajah Brooke. Alternative sustainable livelihoods will be introduced to the Semai and linked back to their management of the conservation area.
