The Sunda Shelves, founded by conservationist Surin Suksuwan and biodiversity consultant Dylan Jefri Ong in June 2023, describes itself as a “friendly neighbourhood bookshop” that specialises in books relating to the environment, nature, natural history, culture and travelling in South-East Asia.
Located in Damansara Kim, Petaling Jaya, the bookshop has an apt nature-themed name, inspired by the Sunda Shelf, a shallow underwater continental area spanning parts of the South China Sea, Java Sea, and Andaman Sea.
