My Native Plants: Tampoi – Baccaurea macrocarpa 🌳

Baccaurea macrocarpa, commonly known as Tampoi, is a native tropical fruit tree found in the rainforests of Malaysia, particularly in Borneo, as well as parts of Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. This medium-sized tree can grow up to 6–15 metres tall and is admired for its distinctive clusters of round fruits that develop directly on the trunk and larger branches, a characteristic known as cauliflory.

When ripe, Tampoi fruits turn yellowish to reddish-brown and contain soft, translucent white flesh with a sweet-tangy flavour. The fruits are enjoyed fresh and are a popular seasonal delicacy among local communities. Beyond its edible appeal, the tree contributes to forest biodiversity by providing food for wildlife such as birds, squirrels, and other fruit-eating animals, which help disperse its seeds throughout the ecosystem. Its flowers are insect-pollinated, further supporting local pollinator populations.

We absolutely loved hosting our program sponsor and all their colleagues at the Bangsar Nursery this past week. What an amazing team! Their commitment to supporting environmental sustainability across Malaysia is truly inspiring. We look forward to many more years of partnership as we navigate the climate crisis together.

🌳 Growing Forests, Growing Communities 🌳

Last weekend, we celebrated KPARC Community Day in Jalong Tinggi, Perak, under the theme “Growing Forests, Growing Communities”.

What began as a forest restoration project has grown into something much bigger — a partnership between communities, government agencies, NGOs, schools, volunteers and supporters who share a common belief: that healthy forests and thriving communities go hand in hand.

Together, we have:
🌱 Planted 1,650 native trees
🌱 Cultivated a sanctuary for 43 IUCN red listed tree species
🌱 Created employment and training opportunities for local Orang Asli
🌱 Supported community-led micro nurseries, eco-guiding, education and community engagement programmes

Most importantly, KPARC highlights the invaluable knowledge and stewardship of the Orang Asli community of Jalong Tinggi.

We were also excited to launch the new Jalong Tinggi website, helping more people discover KPARC, community enterprises, nature-based activities, and local accommodation.

At Free Tree Society, our new motto is “Awareness Into Action.”

KPARC shows what happens when awareness becomes action, and action becomes long-term stewardship.

Thank you to the Jalong Tinggi community, our partners, sponsors, volunteers and supporters for being part of this journey.

We’re kicking off World Environment Month strong this June! 🌿 From university students to corporate teams and families, we’ve welcomed diverse groups to learn about the urgency of climate change through hands-on activities such as transplanting native tree species, understanding waste and methane emissions, and exploring solutions.

And of course, everyone gets to bring home — a small step towards growing a greener future. 🌱 Sometimes, meaningful climate action begins with simple actions, and we’re grateful to be part of that journey together!

Our Nature Education Program is run in partnership with Taman Tugu and wonderfully sponsored by CIMB Islamic Bank. Corporations and students are welcome to book sessions on Wed and Fri mornings. We run public sessions on Sat afternoons. Find out more at www.freetreesociety.org and email [email protected] to book. ✨

A thousand apologies to everyone who has been waiting! We will try to figure out what went wrong and make sure the same thing does NOT happen tomorrow night! Enjoy the talk!

In Part 1 of this talk, we will show you how Cameron Highlands is much much more than just strawberries and tea as we uncover the dazzling array of plants that make this habitat their home!

Meet a plant with an angelic name but a demonic poison; a native herb equivalent to Ginseng, and be wowed by endangered slipper orchids as well as other highland-endemic plants.

Hi everyone! We're experiencing a little tech issue with the talk and am sorting it out now. So sorry (tech has never been our thing!)
