GREduAction Week 410 - 30 May 2026
Biodiversity Observation - Early Instar Lime Butterfly Caterpillar (Papilio demoleus malayanus)

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮 (𝟭𝘀𝘁–𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿)
Black, brown and white.
Mimics bird droppings to avoid predators.
Feeds on young citrus leaves.

𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮 (𝟰𝘁𝗵–𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿)
Turns green (green caterpillar).
Develops false eye spots.
Consumes larger quantities of foliage.

𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿
A young Lime Butterfly caterpillar was observed feeding on citrus leaves at TMR3 SDG Park. At this early stage, the larva mimics bird droppings as a defense against predators.

The presence of both young and mature caterpillars is a positive indicator that the park's vegetation is supporting the complete breeding cycle of this native butterfly, demonstrating that the site serves not only as a habitat for adult butterflies but also as an important breeding ground that contributes to urban biodiversity and pollinator conservation.

From tiny caterpillars to thriving ecosystems, align to

Biodiversity Observation - ladybird beetle (ladybug)

Tiny Guardian at Work:
Ladybirds are generally considered beneficial insects because both the adults and larvae feed on:

Aphids
Whiteflies
Scale insects
Other soft-bodied plant pests

It's a good sign of a functioning ecosystem with natural pest control.

Thank you Patrick Lee of Critical2 TV TV and Suluh for telling the inspiring story of Mazelan Jamaludin (Pak Lan), a true river guardian whose dedication to Sungai Klang over the past three decades proven that meaningful environmental stewardship begins with individual action and unwavering commitment and for highlighting the work of Alliance of River Three (ART!).
Stories like Pak Lan's deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated. They inspire more people to reconnect with nature, take ownership of their local environment, and become part of the solution

𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵: 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗶
[GREduAction week 410 - Sat, 30 May 2026]

In Malaysia, illegal trapping, hunting, keeping, or selling wild birds is regulated under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716) and enforced by Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN).

Biodiversity restoration is not only about planting trees, restoring rivers, or bringing wildlife back into our communities. It is also about taking action when wildlife is threatened.

This morning, two suspected illegal bird trapping incidents were observed at our river park:

📍 Case 01 | Approximately 9:30 AM onwards
Observed and Reported by Salina, a local resident.

📍 Case 02 | Approximately 11:15 AM
Observed by Salina, Intervened by Syuen.

Both incidents were documented on video, and the information will be submitted to Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN).

Wildlife belongs in nature, not in cages or traps.

As biodiversity returns to our urban landscapes, community vigilance becomes increasingly important.

Conservation is not only the responsibility of authorities, it is a shared responsibility of all citizens.

If you encounter suspected wildlife trapping, hunting, or illegal wildlife activities, document the evidence safely and report it to the relevant authorities.

Protect Wildlife. Protect Biodiversity. Act Responsibly, align to .

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽.

This bottle didn't start in the river.

It started with a single careless moment.

Left by the roadside, washed into a drain, carried into the Klang River, and eventually into the ocean.

When multiplied by thousands of people every day, "just one bottle" becomes one of the reasons the Klang River continues to be among the world's major channels of plastic waste into the sea.
But imagine the opposite.

Imagine if every stretch of river had a community that cared.
A neighborhood that noticed.

A citizen who picked up one piece of litter before it reached the water.

That's how rivers recover.

That's how polluted rivers become living rivers.

River ecosystem conservation doesn't begin in the river.

It begins with our daily choices and our willingness to act.

Small actions.

Big impact.

Community-powered river stewardship.

Today solo by Syuen, this is one of the several posts to come.

Ken, Col Wong, Michelle, Jakob were at Jalan Negara Kita for Dr Billy Tang's PWD Smart FarmAbility session with Anthony (1Razak Mansion) and Mandy (Mrs Earth).

Post GREduAction week - Sunday 24 May 2026 @ MVR3 SDG PARK

As usual, our kosip corner at the corner fruit stall....with a special pose from Ken to promote his headband..

and then, wait... why is a cactus growing on a tree?

What does it mean?

1. Nature found a niche
Seeds can land in cracks, hollows, or pockets of organic matter on a tree. Over time, fallen leaves, dust, and moisture create a tiny "hanging garden" where plants can germinate.

2. The tree is a host, not food
The cactus is not stealing nutrients from the tree. It is simply anchored there while getting water and nutrients from rain, decomposing organic matter, and the air.

3. A sign of a functioning micro-ecosystem
The presence of lichens, mosses, organic debris, and a cactus growing together suggests that the tree provides a stable habitat supporting biodiversity.

4. Adaptation and resilience
The cactus is growing where conditions allow it to survive, even if it is not where we typically expect to find a cactus.
Nature never stops surprising us.

What if one alley could grow food by day and make music by night?

30 May | Jalan Negara Kita | Taman Melawati

10AM: Learn how a community farm is transforming food and enriching lives.

8:30PM: Same place. Different energy. Bring your instrument and turn the alley into a musical playground.

One place. Two movements.

A living example of sustainability by day.

A living example of community by night.

SGP 07 Reporting - 28 May 2026

Ken with Thomas Smith this afernoon on 28 May 2026. Atmospheric Scientist from LSE. Following up with Ken on longterm deployment of IoT based environmental sensors developed by him to monitor and capture environmental data. Collaboration between ART! and LSE.

[The London School of Economics and Political Science]
While in the field we took a Zoom call with Social Scientist Dr. Cornelia Whalter from Wharton School of Business/ SCPH on the intersection of AI and Human Behaviour and how tools can be developed to use AI to monitor how environmental challenges affect human behaviour and vice-versa.

We also explored the possibility of music to observe how AI is affecting human agency and human intelligence autonomus decision making vs AI dependent “lazy” thinking.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

We welcomed Parimala Nesamany, [Founding Member of PJ Sejahtera Core and an RA member for Section 22, Petaling Jaya] to the Taman Melawati River Three SDG Park (TMR3 SDG Park) on Sat 16 May 2026.

Parimala first heard about our work during the recent Art Rabbit event at the British Council Malaysia, where conversations around creativity, community, sustainability, and urban transformation sparked new connections and possibilities.

But hearing about something is one thing.
Coming to see it for yourself is another.

Ken walked Parimala the park trails, experienced the living ecosystem, and saw firsthand how a once-neglected urban river space can be reimagined into a thriving nexus of community action, biodiversity restoration, environmental education, art, and SDG-driven placemaking.

This is exactly why spaces like TMR3 SDG Park matters, not just as local interventions, but as proof that communities can reclaim, restore, and reimagine their own environments.

“How can we do this in our own community?” asked Parimala.

The movement grows one conversation, one visit, and one changemaker at a time.

Thank you, Parimala, for making time and for your commitment to building stronger, greener, more connected communities.

Looking forward to more action from your team.
Community action strongly align to
