Ecosystem spotlight

This is where we will feature the various ecosystems in Malaysia. From cloud forests to coral reefs, these are the rawest reasons we do environmental journalism.

For each ecosystem, we tell the stories of not only the natural living and non-living components of these communities and systems, but also the human ones.

Here, you can explore natural Malaysia in text, voice and photos, guided by the experience of those who know it well.

 

KARST ECOSYSTEM

Popularly known as limestone (‘batu kapur’), Malaysia’s remarkable karst landscape has been sculpted by centuries of action of water on soft rock. It is also home to unique life-forms and is part of human life. We celebrate its myriad facets in our first ecosystem spotlight.
