The Free Tree Society (FTS) is an organisation that has long been dedicated to urban rewilding and environmental education, right here in Kuala Lumpur. Their latest initiative, the Bangsar Ecological Connector: A Community Driven Rewilding Initiative was just launched, and is an effort to restore biodiversity, foster community involvement, and create sustainable urban ecosystems. We find out more about this pioneer rewilding project designed to connect the urban forest of Pulai Trail to the green spaces of Rimba Ilmu at Universiti Malaya from Carolyn Joan Lau, the President of the Free Tree Society, and Baida Hercus, the Founder and Vice President of the Free Tree Society.
