@patricklee_msia: For generations, the indigenous Malaysian Orang Asli have lived by the rainforest in what is today the city of Shah Alam, Malaysia. Many of the Temuan people who live here have accepted modern ways of living, with some still venturing into the woods, in particular the Shah Alam Community Forest and surrounding areas, seeking forest produce. But this way of life, like the forest they've known for years, is facing threats of deforestation. A small group of enthusiasts known as the SACF Society are now working to save this urban jungle, which they fear is at risk of commercial development. Many thanks to SACF Society, who have provided the video footage of the wildlife seen in the SACF, with assistance by Alicia Teoh, Lim Teck Wyn and Karmila Norizan. Did you know that forests as well as biodiversity and ecosystems are some of the criteria under the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)? For more info on this, check out SDG15. "Indigenous people" are also mentioned six times in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development document. AUDIO: Forest Piano, by Light_Music. Music by Alex Wit from Pixabay.
