Participatory Wildlife Inventory of Tasik Bera with the local Semelai community

This project documents terrestrial wildlife diversity in Tasik Chini and Tasik Bera using camera traps and direct observation, while examining the relationship between land-use changes and wildlife data. It engages local communities through interviews, awareness programmes, and a community-based intervention to strengthen their role as wildlife stewards. Findings are shared in a multi-stakeholder focus group discussion to support wetland conservation strategies, reflecting both ecological data and community perspectives in one of Malaysia’s most important wetland ecosystems.
