Have you been frustrated trying to find out how to upload a custom map (e.g. with grid cells and topo maps) to your Garmin GPS? We have. There are always conflicting instructions on the internet and there’s no one website which explains the steps clearly. We’ve decided enough is enough!
Here’s a recent article co-authored by one of Rimba’s members, Reuben, in the journal BioScience. Cloud forests are home to numerous endemic species in Malaysia, but it remains a severely understudied ecosystem. This review summarizes the issues and challenges related to cloud forest conservation in Malaysia. Find out more about what needs to be done to save this imperiled ecosystem by getting a copy of this paper here.
We would like to announce that Rimba’s first research station is now operational in the idyllic (and often wet) Basung Village in the Kuala Berang district of Terengganu (Fig. 1).
Our first research station is fortunate to have a strategic location (Fig. 2)- 45 min from Kuala Terengganu, 1 hr from the beaches of Penarik, 20 min from the jetties at Gawi where boats ferry people to jungles of Kenyir Lake and the Tanjong Mentong entrance of Taman Negara, and 1.5 hrs from the Kuala Koh entrance of Taman Negara.
