However, conservation contexts outside KL have their own distinct ecological niches that require the applications of different scientific and cultural knowledge frameworks. KL-centric perspectives could hinder efforts in local conservation scenes. In my hometown of Kuching in Sarawak, people mostly pay attention to local media reporting on local issues. The consequence is that environmental damage outside KL is not given prompt attention until it is already too late. More solidarity and awareness are needed among KL residents on conservation efforts happening elsewhere in other parts of Malaysia.
