Bambusa Foundation is a non-profitable organization on a mission of conducting Forest Conservation. We implement our Conservation works at a small fragment of Central Forest Spine located in PIAH Forest Reserve, Kuala Kangsar District, Ipoh, Perak. It is located amidst a landscape dominated by logging and forest plantation activities which usually lead to habitat destruction thus reducing the diversity of Flora and Fauna. The objective of acquiring this land of logged-over forest for 50 years is to ensure that our Conservation initiatives can be verified and audited.
