On 19 August 2023, 64 MMU students volunteered to plant 2,000 mangrove trees at Kuala Selangor Nature Park under the UMW Green Shoots (UGS) Initiative. UGS is an initiative under UMW that aims to plant 300,000 mangrove trees by the end of 2023. This time, the activity saw the participation of 150 volunteers, including WOWriors from UMW Group Procurement, UMW suppliers, the Malaysian Nature Society, and student volunteers from Multimedia University (MMU). The combined efforts resulted in 2,000 newly planted mangrove trees within 3 hours.
The volunteering activity was coordinated by Engsoc MMU Cyberjaya, IEEE MMU SB, and MMU Superheroes. All volunteers were given opportunities to understand the mangrove’s ecosystem and mangrove planting which were instructed by Mr Asokumar Rajadurai, the programme officer of Kuala Selangor Nature Park. Certificates of participation were given to all of the volunteers by the end of the programme.
Thank you for making a positive contribution to environmental stewardship and sustainability!
