Eight years ago, two neglected riverside dumpsites along the Klang River became the starting point for an ambitious experiment. The idea was simple: if people came together consistently to care for these places, could nature recover? Today, those spaces have become thriving community parks teeming with biodiversity, and what started as a grassroots restoration effort has grown into GREduAction!, a weekly initiative that combines ecological restoration, environmental education and community action. Spearheaded by Alliance of River Three or ART! we speak to co-founders Kennedy Michael and Syuen Toh, to explore what eight years of working alongside nature has taught them, and to share the challenges of sustaining a grassroots environmental movement over the long term.

Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
