`Turning Bukit Persekutuan into an
Urban Community Forest (UCF)
Green areas are becoming scarce
especially within Kuala Lumpur. As a
result, the well-being of
communities/ residents are
jeopardized by the increasing air &
noise pollution as well as loss of
recreational areas.
Bukit Persekutuan (Federal Hill),
which is covered by an 18-acre
secondary forest is well known as one
of the green lungs in KL.

By engaging the local communities,
Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) in
partnership with Think City are to
provide technical assistance and
capacity building to conserve,
enhance, and rejuvenate Bukit
Persekutuan and turning it into a
UCF, which will be a centre for

attraction.
“All of the trees and vegetation
within a town, village, or city make
up the ‘community forest’. The
community forest can include street
and yard trees, parks, cemeteries,
school grounds, and undeveloped
green spaces. The urban community
forest also contains wildlife,
waterways, built roads and
structures, and people. This is where
most people in Kuala Lumpur live and
work.” (adapted from the website of
New York State Dept. of
Environmental Conservation)
