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.

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.

Advancing research in the proposed Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve

The forests of Penang Hill offer exceptional opportunities for ecosystem and sustainability studies. Here you will find an unbroken swathe of pristine yet accessible ecosystems from the hill and lower montane forests, to coastal mangroves and lowland forests, contained within Penang National Park. In 2019/2020 the Foundation provided Research Grants towards studies to describe the diversity of cyanobacteria, wild edible and medicinal fungi, and the endemic Penang Hill Vampire Crab.

In 2021, we are continuing to provide Research Grants that would firmly establish the proposed Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve as an international centre for rainforest research & teaching.: Advancing research in the proposed Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve
