KWICORP - Kinabatangan Wildlife Corridor Regeneneration Program

I still remember, last year December as i was sitting in the class of Sabah Tour Guide Green Badge Course in Tawau Hillspark,The title of my interpretation was exactly on "The largest endangered mammals of Sabah- The Borneo Pygmy Elephant" at lower Kinabatangan area, and i presented about KWICORP- regeneration of pathway to the wildlife after deforestation.


Today, as part of the team of BEST Society, i have the privilege to get myself involved with this project,
Organizing an educational environmental awareness program in conjunction with the "World Environmental Day" with the theme : Forest nature at your services. 

So, together with a few colleagues, we inherited the culture of Best Society- A tree planting activities that followed by a half day educational program with some fun and quizzes.This is a pretty simple awareness program i have run so far, nonetheless it is the most impact one i can see towards te little children of Sukau primary school.

The left over from SRL kitchen turned to useful nursery fertilizer
The short food waste composting demo, the "get down and dirty" tree planting activities, the "river cleaning" cruise along Kinabatangan River, and most of all the brain twisting quizzes that challenged the mindset of the children. I suppose education is the best way to safe the deforestation revolution.

And of course the two SRL ambassador ushering us ( Brett from AUS & Donnie from South Africa )

So, yeah with me holding the camera, this is the only me i could take. The Pua Chiu Kang boots, cool !

A simple group photo for all. 



So, when event almost over, some Pongos were having fun at the back.




This trip, i get too excited about the project, i did not manage to catch any good shot on animals, especially the starring Borneo Pygmy Elephant, next trip down, i assure you, i will upload some good photos of this Female Kingdom mammals.
