A Love Letter to Malaysian Rainforests

Surin Suksuwan, Biodiversity Conservationist and Co-Founder, Sunda Shelves

A Love Letter to Malaysian Rainforests

There’s something magical about stepping into a rainforest—the towering canopy, the cool earth beneath your feet, the chorus of unseen creatures. Our forests hold secrets millions of years old, and they are the lifeblood of our land. But do we truly appreciate them? It was International Day of Forests last Friday, and today we want to celebrate Malaysia's ancient wonders with biodiversity conservationist Surin Suksuwan, who is also the Co-Founder of Nature Bookshop Sunda Shelves.
