Apply For Travel Grants
The Habitat Foundation offers Travel Grants for suitable applicants to participate in regional and international training workshops, forums, conferences, and other relevant meetings related to biodiversity conservation biology, conservation practice, ecology, climate change and sustainability that would give them the opportunity to engage with their peers, present their work, and strengthen their practice.
Recipients of a THF Travel Grant are expected to acknowledge support from The Habitat Foundation for enabling them to participate and should include an acknowledgement of this support in their presentations as well as any proceedings and publications arising from the meetings.

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.
