Defending Malaysia’s rich biodiversity

THIS year marks 24 years since the historic United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro was held. As a country, Malaysia shone brightly during this conference.

The team from Wisma Putra, which led Malaysia’s delegation, worked well with technical experts from the various government ministries and non-governmental organisations. Together, we made a formidable team and were able to lead the charge for the developing countries.
