We catch up with founders of Jungle School Gombak Malaysia, an ecotourism initiative that allows participants to experience the way of life in the jungle, taught by Orang Asli communities. How did they cope with the pandemic and the MCO, and how will they navigate things moving forward? According to them, despite the anxiety and the uncertainties, the “break” serves as a good reminder that Mother Nature needs a “reboot” sometimes, to continue to be sustainable.
