Malaysian Conservation Collective
Founded by Tekul and Alex, this is a grass-roots conservation team working in the River Yu Ecological Corridor, the last link between Peninsular Malaysia’s two largest forests. Tekul is from the Bateq community and grew up in these forests; he now runs a nursery for wild fruit trees used in habitat restoration. Alex has spent the past decade living and working with local communities in the landscape. Together, they bring volunteers, indigenous communities and rangers into the same effort. So far, they’ve planted over 27,500 trees and support 30 community rangers protecting more than 35,000 hectares of forest from poaching and illegal logging.
