The Earth is subjected to many human induced pressures that contribute to global change.
Malaysia is not exempt from this trend. Human pressures on biodiversity and climate change
here in Malaysia are particularly linked to the growing urban lifestyles of the modern Malaysian.
These urban activities include increased demands for resources, in particular for energy,
pollution of the soil water and air, diversion of water to meet urban and industrial needs,
and fragmentation of landscapes.
While much of these activities are linked to the daily lifestyles requirements of the average
Malaysian, the public still maintain a deep rooted perception that individuals cannot do much
to change the situation.
TrEES proposed programme will educate the urban community on the issues of climate change
and biodiversity, the links to human activity and how the community can play an active role
in reducing their negative impact
The main aim of the programme is to help the Malaysian public realize that individual
change is required for a global change.
