Not too far from the heart of Kuala Lumpur, there’s a place where mangroves meet mudflats, migratory birds stop to rest, and silvered leaf monkeys peer down from the trees. The Kuala Selangor Nature Park may be easy to reach, but its importance goes far beyond a weekend escape. In conjunction with World Wetlands Day, we’re taking a closer look at this unique wetland ecosystem, including how it protects coastlines, supports wildlife, and connects people to nature. Joining us to do that are Ng Sean Fong, the Data & Policy Officer at the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), and Vivian Soon, a Wildlife and Conservation Officer, also with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS).

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