Top 5 Things You Can Do @ GMBB Kuala Lumpur
1. Visit Hep Ka-Wot Enggang Le-Wei
What’s all about: Hep Ka-Wot Enggang Le-Wei (Forests, Hornbills & Honey) is a photography exhibition featuring photographs by six indigenous Jahai and Temiar People of Belum-Temenggor Forests in upper Perak state. They are collectively known as the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Orang Asli Hornbill Guardians.
The exhibition, part of the “Safeguarding the Central Forest Spine: Tree for the Future” Project highlights how the Orang Asli protect the hornbills for their roles as farmers of the forest. The hornbills ensure a healthy forest. A healthy forest means food for the bees (hornbills and wildlife as well), which provide Tualang honey for the Orang Asli. In turn, the Orang Asli monitors the population of hornbills, which help crate a thriving ecosystem.
Aside from nature presentations and photography, you may also purchase Orang Asli handicrafts and crafts.
