Jungle in heart of Malaysia's capital hunts corporate cash to thrive


Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir, managing director at Khazanah, said action needed to be taken to repair the damage done by climate change and help maintain the environment for future generations. "We saw the need and led the corporate social responsibility initiative to preserve, conserve and activate Taman Tugu," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Nature lovers visiting Malaysia's Taman Tugu forest reserve can spot monkeys eating fruit in the trees, watch lizards darting across trails or listen to wild hens crowing among the lush vegetation - all against the backdrop of Kuala Lumpur's skyline.

While most Malaysian jungles are located on the biodiversity-rich island of Borneo, this 66-acre (27-hectare) forest acts as a green lung for the bustling capital city.
