Mossy Forest Education Tour and Reforestation on the 4th October 2013
4th October 2013-It came as a bit of a surprise to us when SJKT Boh 2 ( Boh 2 Tamil Primary School) was amongst the 1st few schools to voice interest in joining our Mossy Forest Education Tours ( sponsored by funds from The Embassy of Finland) . This is a school with predominantly Orang Asli children (indigenous people) from the village of Panggen. One would have thought that Orang Asli kids with the jungles of Cameron Highlands as their playground would have already seen the mossy forests. We were wrong. Perhaps we should not have been surprised given what we were told some months back when we were visiting the village of Post Trisu. An Orang Asli father actually said,”Baik juga ada program di Sungai Wi kerana anak-anak saya belum pernah tenguk sungai bersih” ” It is good that you are conducting programmes at Sungai Wi as my children have not seen clean rivers before.” That was a real shocker! That the environment around many of the Orang Asli villages are so degraded that not even one clean river can be found in their vicinity. This innocuous statement from an Orang Asli father sums it all.
