Pertubuhan Jaringan Ekologi dan Iklim Pulau Pinang (JEDIPENANG)
An open community that raises awareness and literacy on the climate and ecological crisis by putting into context the effects of the crisis on governments, businesses, and the locals.
Example of key projects
JEDIPENANG works actively to document and hold conversations on local environmental issues, such as logging practices and Malaysia’s environmental laws. They also hold numerous webinars on Malaysia’s local wildlife and marine life. Currently, JEDIPENANG is mapping and documenting the livelihood and knowledge of coastal fishers in the south of Penang Island, including oral histories, pictures, and information regarding the catches of the local fishermen. They also hold conversations about climate change impact to the fisheries and catches in the area. Through this engagement process, they also work with the fishermen to upgrade the nets and other materials into eco-friendlier alternatives for the preservation of marine life in the area.
