Programme Stories
When members of the Freshwater Fisheries Society (Peniat) in Tanjung Tualang, Perak, found that their fishing areas were invaded by water hyacinth, which caused a drop in the number of catches two years ago, they knew they needed help to curb the deteriorating quality of the lake ecosystem.
They approached Universiti Putra Malaysia’s (UPM) Faculty of Environmental Studies to help them deal with the problem.
The problem was relevant to the faculty not only because it was an environmental concern, but it was specifically within the faculty’s research niche, which included the fields of Environmental Quality and Conservation and Environmental Pollution Control Technology.
The two parties embarked on a collaboration, comprising environmental forensic investigations carried out by the faculty in a long-term programme spearheaded by Faculty of Environmental Studies senior lecturers Dr Nor Rohaizah Jamil and Dr Zufarzaana Zulkeflee. The aim of the initiative was to boost the socio-economic level of the community by conserving the environment in a sustainable manner.
