We Be-Leaf Together 2024: Mangrove Conservation Initiatives in Forest City
On November 14, 2024, Forest City came alive with the spirit of conservation as it hosted “We Be-Leaf Together 2024,” a collaborative initiative dedicated to mangrove conservation. This program brought together Kelab Alami, Kelab Belia Prihatin, the Netherlands Maritime University College (NMUC), and Dr. Serina Rahman—a distinguished researcher from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and co-founder of Kelab Alami. With Dr. Serina’s guidance, this event emphasized hands-on learning and environmental responsibility.
NMUC students from the Bachelor of Occupational Safety and Health with Maritime (BOSHM) and the Diploma in Shipping Management (DSM) programs played an active role in the day’s activities. Their participation underscored NMUC’s commitment to environmental sustainability and gave students practical exposure to the crucial role mangroves play in protecting our coastlines, storing carbon, and supporting marine ecosystems.
Dr. Serina led participants through a comprehensive mangrove immersion and training session, showcasing the mangrove ecosystem’s significance as a “blue carbon” sink that captures and stores large amounts of carbon dioxide, thus aiding in the fight against climate change. This immersive experience, where students observed firsthand the benefits mangroves provide, aligned with the goals of the IPRK 4.0 grant, which aims to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental consciousness. Dr. Serina emphasized the importance of conserving mangroves not only for their ecological value but also for their role in supporting coastal communities and marine biodiversity.
By joining forces through the “We Be-Leaf Together 2024” initiative, Kelab Alami, Kelab Belia Prihatin, NMUC, and local community groups are establishing a foundation for ongoing conservation efforts in the Forest City area. This program has inspired students and community members alike to actively engage in preserving mangroves, demonstrating the power of collaborative action in addressing climate challenges. With dedicated efforts from NMUC students and the support of the IPRK 4.0 grant, this initiative serves as a model for sustainable practices that will leave a lasting impact on Malaysia’s natural habitats.
