| Convene stakeholders/Networking | Young people constitute more than 50 percent of Africa's population and therefore are notably among the most affected demographics, including women, when it comes to environmental issues. Major meetings like the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) are where action — or lack of it — is determined. The involvement of youths ensures that they learn these processes for continuity’s sake and brings their perspectives into the decisions that are adopted. At the end of the day, young people will remain behind a bit longer to suffer or benefit from such decisions. | Completed | Full activity report | |
| Education/Communication/Raising awareness | Implementation of postgraduate and undergraduate courses related to Biodiversity and Conservation of Natural Resources (Biodiversity Conservation; Biodiversity and Conservation of Seed Plants). These courses cover the importance and methods of classification of seed plants. The role of genetics in biosystematics, biogeography and conservation were discussed. Current status, threats, in situ and ex situ conservation of Malaysian flora were emphasized. This year we conducted a field study on the diversity of flora, particularly on hill and lower montane forests in Peninsular Malaysia. The field study involved a total 15 postgraduate and undergraduate students (age ranged 20-35 years old). | Completed | Full activity report |
