A Network That Works For Nature

We believe in the power of connectivity and collective action. By bridging the green gaps in the landscape, particularly the gaps between urban green spaces and gaps between key stakeholders, we can enhance our forest cover and wildlife mobility, improve waterways quality, combat climate change, and create a liveable environment for all living beings alike.

RUGS Linkages

The focal area of the RUGS project led by MNS is located within the Damansara-Pantai Arc and Kuala Lumpur city centre region
