Biodiversity in Malaysia. Project Report. Kementerian Tenaga Dan Sumber Asli, Putrajaya. (2006)
Abstract
Malaysia ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity CBD)in 1994, and was the 65th country to do so. Alongside its obligation under the CBD, Malaysia has been promoting biodiversity conservation as an integral part of sustainable development, a policy theme of the Seventh and Eighth Malaysia Plans spanning 1996-2005. Within that period, a national policy on biodiversity conservation has also been adopted. Malaysia advocates a development path that emphasises conservation while maintaining economic development. Despite advocating such a development strategy, the challenges ahead for conserving and protecting the total biodiversity of Malaysia remain serious. This booklet provides an overview of Malaysia’s biodiversity, what Malaysians are doing to protect it and the international obligations that come with the signing of international agreements on biodiversity. It also suggests examples and ways that can be used to help local, state and federal authorities implement conservation and biodiversity management strategies
