Yesterday, we are honored to host students from Bio school, majoring in Aquatic and environment, and also a few other participants to Ecohub. Mr Azamuddeen Nasir shows the students how to create an effective video to communicate science to the public. Its a very fruitful day as we saw many interesting plants, insects like katydid, land flatworms, skinks and many more. We hope this will help to spark more interest among the students towards nature and its conservation.

Bio school student's learning the basics of doing forest profiling and animal trapping at EcoHub. This fieldcourse usually held at Cemacs but this year, Ecohub was chosen.

All the best and hopefully students can learn something at this reforested green lung of the main campus.

A commotion was heard at exit 2 of our ecotrail. Usually, in this kind of situation..there must be a predator nearby. Last time we came upon the same situation, there was a reticulated python on the tree. Making others very agitated.
