The end of the year marks the monsoon season here in Malaysia, and for some communities, it's also a time of great hardship. The Bateq tribe who live along Sungai Tembeling in Kuala Tahan are adversely affected each year, and the good folks from the Ecotourism & Conservation Society Malaysia (ECOMY) have started an annual appeal for the communities that are affected, to help tide them over during these difficult times. We hear more about how we can help from Andrew Sebastian, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Ecotourism & Conservation Society Malaysia.
