They are also slimy. This might make them a hard sell for conservation. Fortunately, they do grow on you. The deeper you delve into the world of snails, slugs and semi-slugs, the more fascinating they become!

Join us as we follow Assoc. Prof. Dr. Liew Thor Seng, recipient of a 2022 THF Research Grant, in his exploration of the forest of Penang Hill to assess the diversity of land snails present. The aim: to contrast the latest assessment with one from scientists more than 153 years ago to learn something about how wildlife assemblages are changing in response to human activity and climate change!

Our Water, Our Duty – World Water Day 2023 Short Clip https://thf.metaversefor.us/our-water-our-duty-world-water-day-2023-short-clip/ Wed, 22 Mar 2023 07:21:00 +0000 https://www.habitatfoundation.org.my/?p=8940 Read More "Our Water, Our Duty – World Water Day 2023 Short Clip"]]> Meet a community that is doing its part to protect the forest and its ecosystem services on World Water Day.

Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) was awarded a Sustainable Tourism Grant for their initiative, which is assisting in the development of a new generation of local stewards in Kampung Janda Baik. Persatuan Sahabat alam tampik Janda Baik (SATJB) maintains the sustainable use of the 30-hectare area within Lentang Forest Reserve and provides exclusive informative tours. Visits to the energising waters of Ulu Tampik Waterfall are now opportunities to learn about and interact with nature.

We believe that more community guardians can be similarly enabled to enjoy nature while protecting it for future generations.
