Policy

Our policy and advocacy work has been the foundation of the Society’s successes thus far. This is done in many ways, be it from the support and commitment of our members across the country with state level advocacy, or with the work of the Secretariat with Federal and State agencies. Our work covers a wide range of issues, from the Kuala Muda coast in Penang, to national issues in the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex. The success MNS received in areas such as Endau-Rompin and Taman Negara are just some examples of where policy and advocacy has succeeded in ensuring effective conservation. MNS also works closely with the Federal and State agencies on Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
