Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta is our ongoing tourism-themed series on Earth Matters, which aims to highlight lesser-known ecotourism spots right here in Malaysia. Through the series, we want to take you back to the great outdoors, and experience the many off-the-beaten-track nature spots our country has to offer. In light of the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem that was on the 26th of July, we speak to Dr. Ahmad Aldrie Amir, an Associate Professor at the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and the coordinator of the Malaysian Mangrove Research Alliance and Network (MyMangrove), to discuss the ecotourism opportunities at the many mangrove forests here in Malaysia!
