Most of us are familiar with environmental organisations such as WWF-Malaysia, set up in 1972; the Malaysian Nature Society, whose origin dates back to 1940; and Greenpeace Malaysia, established in 2017.

For a long time, environment-related activism was largely carried out by such organisations. However, in recent times, we have seen an increasing number of individuals and pockets of society doing their bit for mother Earth.
