Sarawak’s rivers serve as the super highways for rural communities, especially in #Baleh, #Ngemah, #Katibas, etc. Most of the #boatmen are experts in manoeuvring their way along these rivers.
They are familiar with the treacherous rivers – where dangerous tree trunks and rocks are; every turn of the meandering rivers; and raging waters.
This photo shows how the boatmen and their passengers are pushing a boat upstream in a shallow passage of a river in Baleh.

“I'm a “Captain Planet” fan. I wanted to be one of the Planeeters because they have special powers to save the environment. 💪
I joined #JourneyofWater in April 2018 because it was a great opportunity to better understand how critical water is for life, and how limited fresh water really is.
The biggest lesson I learned from the journey is that water does not come from the tap! It was an eye-opener experience as the Water Heroes were exposed to the full circle of our water supply: from...

Revered for its prowess and beauty, the tiger is seen as the ‘King of the Forests’ - even the stripes on its forehead form the Chinese character Wang (王), or King.
In northeast China, these “kings” - commonly known as Amur tigers - are receiving support from another royalty. Since 2011, the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco has been supporting WWF in driving Tx2 - the global goal to double the number of tigers in the wild.
In early September, the Prince Albert II of Monaco visite...

“As someone who has worked in freshwater conservation for more than two decades, I have come to learn that changing Malaysians’ attitude and behaviour is not that easy.
.
.
Over the years, there have been many anti-plastic and anti-pollution campaigns aimed to inculcate a sense of responsibility and awareness amongst the public. However, plastic waste is still choking our rivers, and poisoning our wildlife. It is clear that we have to try a new approach.”
