Sustainable development, community-based tourism and an inclusive storytelling approach to build the local economy and an inclusive community.

Discovering Wang Kelian The Forgotten Valley, a remarkable biodiversity hotspot

This project focuses on storytelling and content curation that played a pivotal role in the town’s redevelopment, and effectively enhanced the visibility of the site. This documentary and publication made available on various media and travel brands such as YouTube, ASTRO and Malaysian Airline inflight magazine – Going Places.

The screening event and book launch were officiated by the Regent of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail. It succeeded in drawing attention to Wang Kelian’s unique ecology and uncovered the potential of the state of Perlis, which eventually led to the inscription of Perlis Geopark.
