About this episode
The episode discusses the efforts of the Friends of Bukit Dinding to protect the urban forest in Kuala Lumpur.
Urban forests often quietly disappear before people realise what has been lost. But in the case of Bukit Dinding, a growing community of residents and environmental advocates have been working hard to ensure this important green space remains protected. From conservation work and biodiversity documentation to raising awareness about development concerns, Friends of Bukit Dinding has become a strong voice for urban environmental stewardship in Kuala Lumpur. To tell us more, we’re joined by Adrihazim Rashid, President of Friends of Bukit Dinding, and Inci Syafruddin, Vice President of the organisation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
