Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta is our monthly tourism-themed series on Earth Matters, which aims to highlight lesser-known ecotourism spots right here in Malaysia. Done in collaboration with the Ecotourism & Conservation Society Malaysia (ECOMY), we want to take you back to the great outdoors, and experience the many off-the-beaten-track nature spots our country has to offer. In our fourth episode, we're heading over to Southeast Johor, more specifically the Sultan Iskandar Marine Park to visit some of the beautiful islands there, before taking a trip to Desaru and Mersing, for both island adventures, but also to experience some local cultural treats the places have to offer. Helping us navigate these beautiful waters is Andrew Sebastian, the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of ECOMY.

Climate change, ferocious weather and ‘the haze’ are now part our everyday lives. How are our lifestyles connected to them, and what can we do about it? What does the economy have to do with it? Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
