OUR MISSION

We work to protect the tropical forests and biodiversity of the State of Pahang through nature-based solutions. Our focus is to conserve Pahang’s natural environment, preventing further degradation and promoting positive social and economic outcomes for local communities.

Nature in the balance

Pahang is home to landscapes that serve as reservoirs of biodiversity, hosting a wide array of endangered species endemic to the region.

Social equity for the indigenous community

Of the eighteen distinct Orang Asli ethnic groups in Malaysia, eight reside in Pahang, living at the intersection of tradition and the modern world.

Navigating climate change

Climate change is intensifying our dependence on healthy natural habitats to blunt its worst effects — even as it forces us to adapt how we farm to keep food secure.

Sustainable Development Impact

Our three initiatives work to balance community well-being, economic growth, and preservation of nature.

Join Our Conservation Effort

If we don’t scale up conservation efforts, we will lose the diverse species of flora and fauna that make up our planet. Protecting biodiversity is key to preserving the sustenance of our environment, food supply, and economies. However, the journey towards their conservation is a collective endeavour. It requires the collaboration of individuals, communities, organisations, and policymakers, transcending boundaries and unifying efforts towards a common goal.

Protect The Nature

For tangible efforts to materialise, we need international cooperation and climate investments to mobilise resources towards these mitigation efforts.

Join Us

Join us in protecting our natural world. Be a part of our mission to protect the health of the ecosystems in the rainforests of Pahang, the key to Peninsular Malaysia’s central forest spine.

Nature in the balance

Pahang is home to landscapes that serve as reservoirs of biodiversity, hosting a wide array of endangered species endemic to the region. Situated at the heart of the Malaysian peninsula, Pahang acts as a crucial link connecting various ecosystems. The state’s landscapes include lowland and montane rainforests, coastal mangroves, and freshwater peat swamp forests, key battlegrounds for the fight against climate change. These habitats are essential for countless species experiencing ecosystem fragmentation caused by economic activities and unsustainable land use practices.

Social equity for the indigenous community

Of the eighteen distinct Orang Asli ethnic groups in Malaysia, eight reside in Pahang, living at the intersection of tradition and the modern world. Collectively, they represent over a third of Malaysia’s Orang Asli community, with an estimated population of around 65,000. Their relationship with the forest extends beyond cultivation, with their way of life challenged by development and urbanisation. We seek to establish equitable and informed partnerships that enable these communities to self-determine the balance between the convenience of urbanisation and development and the continuation of their traditions that are deeply intertwined with nature.

Navigating climate change

Climate change is intensifying our dependence on healthy natural habitats to blunt its worst effects — even as it forces us to adapt how we farm to keep food secure. Enggang meets both challenges through three nature-based activities: Protected Area Management, Forest Carbon Conservation, and Sustainable Farming. Together they protect the ecosystems that store carbon and shelter biodiversity, while building agricultural resilience.

Sustainable Development Impact

Our three initiatives work to balance community well-being, economic growth, and preservation of nature. In doing so, they advance several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — most directly Climate Action (SDG 13), Life on Land (SDG 15), and No Poverty (SDG 1).
