Hosting our international guests – a glimpse into Shorebird Peninsular Malaysia Project (SPMP)

On World Migratory Bird Day, we recognise the very special international visitors that winter along the Teluk Ayer Tawar-Kuala Muda Coast between October and February annually. Thousands of birds from almost 150 species rely on the mudflats and mangroves of this area. For the migratory species it is a critical stopover on what is an increasingly arduous and perilous journey. Being able to host them on our shores is both a privilege and a tremendous responsibility. It makes us part of a global community that has a solemn duty to play in ensuring the survival of these remarkable species.

The Habitat commences a long-term bioacoustics research programme

Rainforest diversity is not just something that can be appreciated with the eyes. It is also expressed by a diversity of sounds – the song of birds, the shrill siren of cicadas, and the calls of frogs and geckos, and the vocalizations of squirrels and primates are part of the forest landscape.

Hornbills and Orang Asli Communities – Farmers of the Forest

The Habitat Foundation is proud to provide a grant to the Malaysian Nature Society towards implementing a pilot initiative under its longstanding Hornbill Conservation Project to develop a community nursery that stocks hornbill (and other wildlife) resource plants and trees. The nurseries will be developed with Orang Asli from Kampung Chuweh in the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex.
