We're kicking off a new series on Earth Matters, Nature Reads, a show where we explore the stories behind books that bring us closer to nature and the world around us. Every month, we team up with the good folks at independent bookstore Sunda Shelves, and in this first episode, we explore the storybook called Sen’oi Serog, published by the Tropical Rainforest Conservation & Research Centre. It’s a rich, collaborative work inspired by the oral traditions and ecological wisdom of the Temiar people in the Belum-Temengor forest of Hulu Perak. Together with co-host Surin Suksuwan (biodiversity conservationist and co-founder, Sunda Shelves) we speak to Lucy Wong and Hairul Abdullah, both also biodiversity conservationists and the book’s co-writers and producers. We’ll talk about indigenous knowledge, forest taboos, fruiting seasons, and the deep relationship between people and place.
