Rapid development and proliferation of urban spaces, while on the whole has been beneficial, has deprived
our children of discovering the wonders of nature. This is particularly true for children of the urban poor.
Knowledge of our environment is essential, without which, children will not appreciate their
role in human survival.
YNC is a 2-day/1-night camp conducted in association with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), using
their environmental training facilities at the Nature Education Centre (NEC) located in the Forest Research
Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong, and at the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP),
Selangor. In 2007 we spread our wings to Bukit Hijau, Kedah and Cameron
Highlands, Pahang.
In 2009 we have successfully conducted a total of 29
camps involving 31 schools benefiting 1124
students. Due to tremendous support from Tamil schools,
we have reached out our camps to 2 more venues which are
Ulu Yam & Bukit Cahaya. We target to conduct 35 camps in
2010.
