The Voices of the Rainforest website is now live
The Voices of the Rainforest is a British Academy research award that aims to co-create a traditional ecological knowledge-based climate change curriculum framework for primary schools in collaboration with indigenous communities, children, and school partners in the states of Johor, Kelantan, Pahang, and Perak, Malaysia.
Led by Dr Syafiq Mat Noor, the project aligns with the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) and is a central part of the UK’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement (Article 7, Para 5) and Net Zero targets.
The Voices of the Rainforest website is now available at https://voicesoftherainforest.leeds.ac.uk. The website provides regular updates on project operations and activities, along with relevant blog posts highlighting the delivery and outcomes of the project.
To date, four blogs have been published on the website.
