However, the domestication of bees in certified eco-schools raises concerns of improper apiary management and the possible repercussions it may have towards the safety of the school community and bee colonies. The objectives of this research are to observe the methods of conduct in beekeeping and find out if bee domestication in green schools could pose a threat towards the school community. The research methodology adopted is mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative in nature). The research instruments employed are interviews with green institutes, a meta-analysis method (studying and comparing credible documents on beekeeping from reliable sources) and a survey conducted on students of an eco-school. The analysis of interview transcripts, findings from meta analysis and results of surveys are conducted accordingly. Findings revealed that proper care of bee colonies is imperative to avoid diseases such as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Another finding states that failure of attentiveness towards the lives of critters could result in significant emotional challenges and invoke fear in students which decreases their willingness to protect them. A possible suggestion is to include a bee-based syllabus in the green school curriculum to raise awareness among students who live in a pollination dependent environment.

One of the initiatives taken in schools in Indonesia, the Green School, is expected to be a step towards addressing them. The program implemented in Indonesian schools is called the Adiwiyata School program. Its aim is to educate students to be aware of environmental matters. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of the Adiwiyata School program in changing students' attitudes and awareness towards environmental conservation, both within the school and in the community. The research also seeks to formulate solutions to enhance Adiwiyata's effectiveness in shaping characters who are environmentally aware characters. This research is using quantitative-qualitative mixed methods. The data collection involves the use of observation, questionnaires, interviews, and meta-analysis through journals, articles, thesis, and government regulations as instruments. Comparison and analysis of interview transcripts are used in data analysis. The research indicates that the Adiwiyata program is effective in increasing students' environmental awareness towards both their school and residential environments. It was found that 61.3% of students' environmental awareness increased. Therefore, the Adiwiyata program still needs to be improved for more effective results by developing cooperation between the Adiwiyata program and other relevant programs or agencies, as well as organizing the Adiwiyata Ambassador Simulation Challenge (AASC) program, that highly recommended to enhance environmental awareness among school communities both within schools and in the residential environments.

Consequently, unmanaged waste reached 6.4 tons per year in 2023. If it continues to happen, it will be a threat to humans and their ecosystem. Thus, it is crucial to establish a sustainable environment in all fields of life, especially in the school as an educational institution. Sekolah Islam Fitrah Al Fikri has encouraged students to engage more in environmentally friendly behaviors through certain programs so it's important to see their general awareness of the environment. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of students’ environmental awareness and to identify the environmentally friendly practices of Sekolah Islam Fitrah Al Fikri students in their daily lives. This study uses a quantitative approach by collecting the participants’ perceptions through questionnaires from 155 junior and senior high school students. The result of this study shows that the student's awareness is relatively high. However, the level of students’ environmentally friendly behavior is around average. It proves that Sekolah Islam Fitrah Al-Fikri students understand the importance of an environmentally friendly lifestyle, but it is not implemented well in their daily lives. Furthermore, great support from the local community, both at home and school, such as providing waste segregation tools, campaigning for a green lifestyle, implementing green school policy, etc., should be enhanced.

While these concepts may appear distinct, they converge into a cohesive whole, especially in the context of climate change. In the Introduction to Core Concepts, we recognize that happiness extends beyond mere emotional well-being. It encompasses positive emotions, life satisfaction, and a sense of purpose. A Happy School prioritizes student well-being, emphasizing positive relationships, joy, and overall flourishing. Simultaneously, Green Schools integrate environmental awareness, eco-literacy, and sustainable practices into their curriculum and operations. The Background Information section contextualizes these concepts. Globally, the Happy Schools initiative recognizes happiness as a means to better academic outcomes. Meanwhile, Green Schools align with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), fostering eco-conscious behaviors and environmental education. In the Defining Key Concepts part, we clarify that happiness involves creating a supportive, inclusive atmosphere where students feel valued and engaged. Greenness encompasses eco-friendly initiatives, including waste reduction and energy conservation. Methodologically, the study employs surveys, interviews, and observations to explore students’ perceptions. Preliminary findings suggest that students experiencing joy are more likely to engage in environmentally responsible behaviors. Conversely, schools prioritizing sustainability contribute to overall student happiness. In conclusion, the intersection of happy and green schools creates a positive feedback loop. Students who appreciate nature and practice eco-consciousness tend to experience greater well-being, while a happy school environment encourages pro-environmental attitudes. This holistic approach benefits students, communities, and our planet alike. Key words: Happy School, Green School, Intersection AN INTERSECTION IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE 52

It was considered important to adapt the agriculture sector to climate change and reduce emissions. For this reason, improving and conserving soil through the use of biological control agents is an alternative technique to chemical fertilizer. The objective of this study were 1) to study the use of fertilizer formulas and fertilizer amounts to suit soil conditions, 2) to study the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from chemical fertilizers and bio-based fertilizers derived from cow manure and goat manure in growing local crops, and 3) to study the amount of nutrients in bio-based fertilizers to replace the use of chemical fertilizers in schools. The results of the study found that 1) bio-based fertilizers can help reduce production costs, 2) using chemical fertilizers to improve soil conditions has higher greenhouse gas emissions than using bio-based fertilizers, and 3) the examination of nutrients from bio-based fertilizers from two types of animal manure: cow manure and goat manure which is produced for use in the school was found that cow manure biocompost and goat manure biocompost had pH values of 7.0 and 7.5, respectively. Both types of bio-based fertilizers had high amounts of ammonia and potassium, and has a very high amount of phosphorus. The results of the study concluded that bio-fertilizers from animal manure can be used in place of urea fertilizer. Keywords: Fertilizer, Bio-Based, Soil 53

Traditional schooling systems often lack a strong framework for integrating environmental education, leaving students ill-prepared to address ecological challanges. The research aims to understand how green schools can help students become more environmentally aware and adopt sustainable practices and how the number of green schools can be increased and multiplied. The research methodology employed is quantitative component involved surveying students, teachers, and administrators from both green schools and traditional schools to measure environmental awareness and sustainable behaviors. The analysis of the interview transcriptions will be carried out afterwards. The study found that students in green schools exhibited significantly higher levels of environmental awareness and engagement in sustainable behaviors compared to their age-mates in traditional schools. Key sustainable practices observed included waste reduction programs, energy conservation measures, and the integration of environmental education into various subjects. Challenges identified included limited funding, resistance to change among staff, and the need for continuous professional development for teachers. Governments should provide funding and policy frameworks to support the transition to green schools. Schools should integrate environmental education across all subjects to reinforce sustainable practices. Ongoing professional development should be provided to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills to teach sustainability. These steps can help ease the tranforming to green schools while not getting too much damage.

The food waste keeps increasing due to poor management of the unconsumed food by the students. This research aims to reduce the food waste in school canteen and help the canteen workers manage excess food efficiently by the use of sophisticated and systematic technology AI (Artificial Intelligence). Interviews and site observation have been done to collect data on how food waste is being discarded on daily basis. The data are then analysed according to the food class. A systematic technology AI is then implemented to sort out recyclable food waste before converting them to organic food fertiliser. Based on the results, it was found that 3 to 4 trash cans were filled with leftover foods. With the assistance of the AI system, 2 trash cans of leftover food can be converted to organic fertiliser resulting in 50% the food waste reduced. This helps school canteen daily operations to be more optimized and efficient. In conclusion, food waste management using AI helps to convert food waste to other benefits and ultimately reduce the food waste to half. Further study should be conducted to improve food waste processing and management using AI. Keywords: Food Waste, Management, Systematic Technology 57

However, once in a blue moon, a devastating earthquake wreaks havoc and levels the region - destroying vital infrastructure, crippling local economies and worst of all, taking precious lives. Although we live in the 21st century, with all the advances in technology that we have today, the general approach to dealing with the preparation and aftermath of earthquakes has not changed all that much since the 1990s. However, the latest Industrial Revolution of our era has brought a new major player into our society - artificial intelligence. Our study intends to explore and shed light on the possibilities of utilising artificial intelligence to efficiently construct models on tectonic movement for geologists to study and analyse seismic events both past and possibly future, as well as assisting architects in the reinforcement of infrastructure uniquely equipped to deal with geological hurdles that may exist specifically in certain regions. We also aim to demonstrate that artificial intelligence can assist in streamlining plans to assist local authorities in post-disaster management, thus mitigating overall damages and the loss of life. Without a doubt, artificial intelligence is a powerful technology that once harnessed properly, can safeguard humanity against the dangers of our ever-changing environment.

The gases that affect global warming refer to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrous oxide (N O), methane (CH ), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF ) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF ) are produced directly from various human activities such as household, industrial industries, agriculture and transportation, and indirectly, including electricity consumption, the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases from human activities, affect global climate change. Humans need electricity for many activities, and the increase in civil society has led to the use of more electricity, resulting in an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. A school is a place where many students come together to live. Electricity is used in many activities such as air conditioner using, turn on the electricity to illuminate both the building and classrooms, as well as toilets which students use them on a daily basis. From a study on the behavior of turning on the electricity in the school toilets. It was found that most students would leave the electricity on in the toilets all the time. For this reason, the team invented an automatic light on-off system using the KidBright board to control the automatic on-off of the toilet electricity and calculate the time to turn on the electricity with an automatic light on-off system. This leads to CO emission calculations to compare greenhouse gas emission rates. ABSTRACT EFFECTS OF AUTOMATIC SWITCH USING KIDBRIGHT BOARD ON M U A N G K R A B I S C H O O L , T H A I L A N D title : The survey revealed that: the toilet areas without automatic lighting on and off using the KidBright board in Building 1 and 2 consumes 52.56 units of electricity per building with an annual carbon dioxide emission of approximately 30.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide and 21.9 units of electricity in Building 3 with approximately 12.75 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions per year. 1. the toilet areas with automatic lighting on and off using the KidBright board in Building 1 consumes 26.28 units of electricity and emits approximately 15.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. The toilets in Building 2 consumes 39.42 units of electricity with an annual carbon dioxide emission of approximately 22.95 kilograms of carbon dioxide and the toilets in Building 3 consumes 10.95 units of electricity with an annual carbon dioxide emission of 6.37 kilograms of carbon dioxide. 2. From the survey, approximately 73.95 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year are emitted from the toilets that are not equipped with automatic lighting on and off using KidBright boards and the toilets equipped with automatic lighting on and off using KidBright boards emit approximately 44.62 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. To conclude, with an automatic light on-off system using the KidBright system, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 29.33 kilograms of carbon per year.

Despite the facilities it brought; developing technology is the biggest stakeholder responsible for increasing greenhouse gas emission, growing carbon footprint and therefore blossoming greenhouse effect, which consequently result in our key problem: Climate Change. We, here, aim to tackle this conflict between mother nature and our son, technology, by finding the common ground, critically involving our “stakeholder”, AI in particular, for the sake of our future. During our research, we mainly obtained vital information using secondary research methods by virtue of examining various studies and articles related to the topic. Plus, we used quantitative data analysis while processing the information we procured. The study indicated that the causing factors, previously mentioned, and resulting effects, such as increase in average temperature and sea levels, melting of glaciers, contamination of freshwater supply or more extreme weather conditions, of climate change are more vital today than ever before. Furthermore, we acknowledge that climate change does not only afflict humans’ well-being, but also threatens many species, therefore biodiversity, and damages agriculture as well as industry. Hence, in an attempt to solve these issues, we can accordingly adjust the currently used AI tools, for advanced monitoring of climate change maps for instance, while enhancing the preexisted industrial technologies instead of shutting them down, considering that it also means lots of wasted material, fon and potential.

Such collapse could theoretically happen when climate change reaches a point of no return. This can cause widespread and catastrophic impacts on the Earth’s ecosystems, societies, and economics. In this paper, we are discussing on how deforestation impact climates nature, biodiversity and the occurring natural disasters in Gua Musang. The objective of this research is to enhance public awareness on climate change and finding a solution to solve climatebased disasters caused by human activities. We also discuss on how heatwave cause the flood ‘BAH KUNING’ that happened during 2014 in Gua Musang. From an interview between Galas Assemblyman, Fire and Rescue Department, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN), we can conclude that climate does affect the biodiversity in the forest of Gua Musang. Activities like illegal logging is one of the contributing factors toward the change in biodiversity as animals and plants lose their habitats. Based on a survey we proposed, we found that extreme heat causes disasters which impacts the economy in Gua Musang. In order to tackle this problem, it’s the government’s responsibility to take action in suppressing human activities that has negative impacts on the environment.

The term ‘water scarcity’, which refers to not having enough water or access to clean water sources, is also becoming increasingly problematic in Malaysia. Floods, climate change, increasing demand due to population growth are a few of the elements that causing this. The objective of this study is to examine strategies for engaging students of all ages especially teenagers in raising awareness of the severity of the water scarcity issue and how schools may work together in overcoming the issue. Researchers from all around the world have examined a variety of strategies for addressing water scarcity, but some other strategies that focus on students include education intervention, awareness-raising, and increasing public and school understanding of water quality. This research was conducted using the quantitative and qualitative methods. The interviewees for the surveys underwent extensive and in-depth evaluation, while the form respondents underwent opinionated assessments. Based on the findings, we concluded that majority of the respondents were interested in helping to overcome the issue, but faced difficulties in realising them. Therefore, when addressing the issue of water scarcity to students, it is important to empathise on the ‘how’ as well as the impacts of leaving the issue of water scarcity as is.

This escalation has triggered severe repercussions on both the environment and human livelihoods. Our research endeavors to dissect this multifaceted issue into three distinct phases: elucidating the transformations undergone, delving into the profound significance of these transformations, and proposing actionable strategies to address the pressing matter. Employing an observational analytical approach, we utilize the comprehensive framework provided by the Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action, leveraging its five instruments to meticulously examine the intricacies of climate change and its ramifications. Through rigorous analysis, our study unveils three pivotal transformations: the pre-climate change era, the ongoing phase of climate change, and the anticipated post-climate change scenario. Within this framework, we delineate the attainment of three crucial Climate Action goals—financial economy, human activities, and natural resource management. Notably, our comparative analysis starkly contrasts the conditions prevailing before and after the onset of climate change, particularly in terms of their impact on human lives. This dichotomy underscores the profound negative consequences inflicted by climate change on various facets of human existence. In conclusion, our findings underscore the urgency of addressing the current climate crisis, emphasizing its profound ramifications for human civilization and the environment. Failure to take decisive action may inexorably lead to catastrophic outcomes, imperiling the very fabric of humanity's existence.

However, it is widely believed that climate change is inevitable because of human activities, and if the latter can be managed, climate change and global warming could be mitigated. This qualitative case study aims to firstly examine the impact of human activities towards the environment in a smaller scale, secondly this study is done to investigate the reasons of the continuation of the said human activities despite its obvious negative outcomes impacting the environment. This study is done in three phases, the first phase involved interviewing climate change experts as a mean of data collection. This phase was done to discern the legitimacy of apocalyptic nature of climate change. In the second phase, the city of Kluang is taken as a model of the world and is taken as a case for the case study. Observation, interviews and analysing legal documents are done to investigate the non-complicity of environmental rules in the city of Kluang by organisations and companies, despite the obvious environmental deterioration. This investigation extended towards some global and national companies and the impacts of their practices towards the environment. The third phase of this study is a creation of advocacy group aiming to raising awareness regarding global warming and climate change. Findings infer that the non-complicity of rules by various organisations would result into more severe environmental issues, which would suggest inevitable climate apocalypse.

Consequently, the fast fashion industry is exaggerating, which affects Malaysia temperature and climate change. The objectives of this study are to discover how the fast fashion industry contribute to climate change in term of global warming, how it affects the human civilization or weather and to provide possible solutions for this problem. We did the case study through data collection; online articles, relevant documents and online survey. The research instruments utilized is quantitative correlational research through metaanalysis by means of studying governmental policies and information results around the world through established websites. The study shows that there has been a significant increase in Malaysia's clothing industry over the past decade. Another finding shows that the amount of clothes being thrown away and sent to the disposal site is increasing, which affects the amount of carbons being emitted every day, thus, contributing to climate change around Malaysia. Hence, in efforts at creating safer environment for the livings, a possible solution is to buy bundle or second-hand clothes. Another suggestion is to use clothes longer to avoid an act of buying new clothes. These courses of actions can help to prevent the increase in temperature that causes the weather to become worse due to the fast fashion industry.

This research aims to highlight the causes that are leading to the catastrophe of the world’s climate and underlining the mass effects of the ecological shift towards human civilisation, both through the perspective of the Anthropocene. The research methodology applied is a qualitative case study through systematic review by studying official articles and scholarly literature from acknowledged sources. The research’s findings are approached by using content analysis through categorising and defining found topics. Each topic was examined to understand how it correlates with the targeted objectives. The study revealed that some human activities which are contributing to the Anthropocene are deforestation, burning of biofuels, and greenhouse gases. We also concluded that the Anthropocene also has significant effects on the civilisation such as the economy and infrastructure. Most are searelated problems such as how pollution affects aquaculture and how cities are affected by the rise of the sea level. Therefore, this study summarises how important it is to accentuate public awareness on said topic. If the awareness remains at a low level in the future, the Anthropocene might not just be a theorised geological epoch, but rather a real one.

Monsoon floods are caused by the Northeast Monsoon season, which commences in early November and ends in March; it brings heavy rainfall, particularly to the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia.Floods are the most frequent natural hazard in Pahang, and though the effects can be extreme, they can also be minimized with the right preventative measures. Not only does climate change have an impact on the environment, but it can also have a negative effect on educational systems, from curriculum changes to increased disruption in school buildings.Water damage can be difficult to predict or contain, but there are precautions, approaches, and maneuvers that can help reduce the impact of flooding in schools. The effects of flood are long term and can be very costly, disruptive and distressing for the school system.The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges faced by the affected schools in preparing, managing and identifying the possible solutions to manage floods vulnerabilities of the primary schools at the flood-prone areas in Pekan Pahang This study employs two methods: a questionnaire and several interviews engaging primary school headmasters, teachers, students, village community and officers from the District Natural Disaster Relief Committee.From the research, it can be summarized that proper flood management schemes should be planned and flood forecasting should be strengthened to deal with such never-ending disasters.

Yearly occurrences of deluges have caused Malaysians to lose their lives, property and livelihood affecting everyone and everywhere from farmers in rural areas to city dwellers. The people who live in floodplains or close to sources of water such as river face the most risk of them all. The coast of peninsular Malaysia is most prone to flooding especially during the monsoon season. For example, the 2021-2022 flood in Malaysia which had affected Selangor and other states. It had caused 54 deaths, 125,490 people displaced, and RM 20 billion in damages. Floods could hamper the economy by causing inconvenience to everyone. Infrastructures that have been destroyed create a liability for the government while destroyed factories can increase unemployment rates which in turn give rise to social unrest. Flood-resistant infrastructures can be introduced to mitigate the issue. Therefore, our research aims to show the effects of floods to the economy and present the solutions in tackling the outcomes. In terms of methodology, this research encompasses methods such as studying research materials from reputable sources and conducting surveys on the impact of floods economically. As a whole, this research shows that floods pose an increasing risk in destroying our livelihood, as cases of floods are increasing year by year. Finally, it is essential to apply the methods shown in this study in order to securing a safer future. Keywords: Flood, Economy, Infrastructure 80

Following a very hot weather in the region, there has been a long-overdue recognition of the severity of the situation. Climate change has rendered Malaysia vulnerable to severe heatwaves, with several cities in Selangor experiencing extreme conditions at level 2 intensity, significantly impacting the daily lives of its residents, including the workforce and students. Through surveys and online research, our study will be collecting and analysing valuable data which may reveal the actual state significantly on the impacts of the heatwave crisis in Selangor these few years. It has become evident that addressing heatwaves is not only crucial for the well-being of the nation but also for its social, political, and economic stability. Recognizing the urgent need to address this dire situation, we are also going to look at the measures taken by the government and nongovernmental organizations in Selangor to mitigate heatwave impacts. As the average temperature continues to rise every year, heatwaves in Malaysia will undoubtedly worsen in the future. Therefore, comprehensive efforts must be undertaken to ensure a prosperous life for Malaysians and in our context, Selangor residents thus improving the health and well-being of individuals to foster a stable nation. This research aims to shed light on the ongoing heatwave crisis in Selangor and serves as an outreach effort to address similar challenges on a broader scale.

The influx of tourists boosts local businesses' demand for services and products, creating jobs, increasing revenue, and reducing poverty. However, despite supporting economic growth, tourism also contributes to global warming and climate change. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of the interrelationships between tourism and sustainability. Tourism has a strategic position in the country’s development as the need-to-travel increases along with the world population’s growth. The city is a tourist spot that has the potential to lure and increase tourists’ visit- thus it makes Melaka, a small district in Malaysia the most sought after tourist spot - be it domestic or international. However, in many cases local tourists are only seen as people who are responsible to give “a welcome smile” to tourists and not as those who carry out an important mission on behalf of the destination. Due to that, the potential of tourists for minimizing negative impacts of tourism traffic should be highlighted. Hence, they should be treated and actively involved in the implementation of sustainable tourism. Despite the efforts imposed by the government, this qualitative research is meant to determine the readiness of local tourists for green habits to preserve nature and the environment so that it can be sustainably maintained for future generations. Furthermore, to overcome the challenges and barriers, a few implementation strategies to instill sustainable tourism awareness from the aspects of policy or regulation, institution, finance, technology and culture are proposed.

Consequently, humans are becoming negligent in using up all of the earth's natural resources, which will cause drastic changes to the earth's climate. Hence, mixed-method research was carried out to study if the youth are negligent towards the rapid transformation of climate change, the youth's awareness towards the impact of climate change, and to identify the main causes of this issue. A questionnaire which consists of 11 questions was distributed via Google Form to youth ranging from 13 to 20 years old to collect quantitative data using the 5-likert scale. Furthermore, semistructured interviews were conducted among 10 students to obtain insights on their perspective regarding the main causes of climate change. The data collected indicated that 80.8% of the youth acknowledge the small steps to contribute towards curbing the climate change issue, but no action is taken by them. In the hope of securing our nature's welfare, it is important to emphasise humans' efforts in building a healthier and more sustainable environment, such as by spreading awareness among teenagers in the form of education. With the right mindset, we can definitely minimise the impact of climate change. Keywords: Climate Change, Mindset, Negligent 83

This issue poses a significant threat towards the wellbeing of Jakartans and the security of the country. With a population of over 10 million, carbon pollution emitted by humans seems inevitable. Overuse of fossil fuels directly exacerbates global warming worldwide. This leads to a number of problems, most notably sea levels rising. It's estimated that the flooded area in Northern Jakarta could expand by 110.5 km² by 2050. To combat this crisis, the Indonesian government is currently building a giant wall on Jakarta’s coastal area to prevent further damage and has plans to relocate Indonesia's capital to Borneo. However, these solutions have not yet shown any effectiveness towards resolving the problem. This paper's objective is to examine the government's current plans towards solving the issue and find the most effective solution. We aimed to break down the problem and find the roots of the situation. This research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method whose objective is to present knowledgeable information, perspectives, and citizens' strategies in response to floods and potentially rising sea levels. Our findings display that both the Giant Seawall and the relocation of Indonesia’s capital are not effective long-term solutions. Both plans will not stop the flooding of Jakarta completely. To properly combat this issue, we must stop the main source of the problem by changing our daily actions to reduce carbon pollution that causes sea levels to rise.

However, continuous exposure to tourism activities puts tremendous pressure on the biodiversity conservation effort by the park’s authority. The objectives of this study are to discover how tourism affects the conservation of Kinabalu Park’s forests, the perception and awareness of the public regarding this issue and to recommend potential solutions. The research methodology utilized in the investigation is the mixed method, combining elements from both qualitative and quantitative research, in the form of questionnaire surveys and reviews of scholarly articles. From the research, the conclusion achieved is that tourism has continuously impacted Kinabalu Park negatively due to over-tourism. Moreover, other findings have also shown that public awareness regarding this topic isn’t necessarily at its peak. To solve these issues, conducting an education programme is highly recommended. Education plays a pivotal role in spreading awareness of the conservation of Kinabalu Park’s forest ecosystems. Taking action on this issue can prove to be the catalyst in maintaining Malaysia’s natural heritage for a brighter future. Keywords: biodiversity conservation, education, tourism.

Consequently, this has caused massive inflation in the food economy, and many global crops fail to flourish due to the lack of animal pollination.The objective of this study is to puzzle out the key to solving the global decline in bee populations and, in return, stabilizing the food economy. The research methodology utilized is mixed-method correlational research by means of scholarly articles from established websites as well as interviews with several honey farmers . The analysis of the interview transcriptions will be carried out afterwards. The study revealed that there is a drastic decline in the bee population due to industrialized agricultural practices and the use of harmful pesticides, specifically in the United States, which contributes to 35 percent of global agricultural land. Hence, their disappearance will most likely cause a food crisis for humanity and result in inflation for specific foods that plummet in supply. Thus, in an attempt to counteract such events, the government must prohibit the use of harmful pesticides and ensure they are not harmful to bees. Another recommendation is to prevent deforestation, as it can prevent the loss of bee habitats. Keywords: bee populations, food economy, inflation S U B T H E M E 6 L i f e O n L a n d 91

This causes shifts in species diversity and plant losses, potentially harming ecosystem health. The objective of our research and study is to provide better understanding on the impact of climate change on ecosystems, the setbacks towards Malaysia and other countries. These pinpoints on setback information will assist with the study of solutions to prevent or to at least reduce the severity of the issue. Our method of qualitative research examines how climate change has affected forest ecosystem functioning and plant diversity. The statistics that were found in our research revealed that the residents of Malaysia are directly or indirectly affected by climate change. Another finding shows that the biodiversity in Malaysia suffers from biodiversity loss because of climate change which also happens to other countries in the sense that they are also going through the same issue. We specifically address the potential for biodiversity to mitigate climate change impacts on forest ecosystem functioning. To improve, the best possible solution is to Promote Climate-Smart conservation to integrate climate change considerations into biodiversity conservation efforts. Increasing public awareness about biodiversity conservation is also essential for effectively addressing climate change. For this purpose, we formulate a concept whereby biodiversity may reduce the negative impacts or enhance the positive impacts of climate change on ecosystem functioning.

Research highlights that approximately 38% of the world’s land area is used for agriculture with the largest contributor with 7.7% of the world’s agricultural area being Canada’s. To address this, research assesses the relation of agriculture and damage to the ecosystem. The aim is to promote agroecological practices that could reduce environmental impact and increase soil fertility. Insights from interviews involving lecturers, local farmers, teachers, and parents reveal that many Malaysians are not exposed to agroecology. This trend is influenced by factors like low exposure to modern agriculture technology and no support from larger companies or government. The interviews uncover various strategies for sustainable agriculture for small-scale farmers to ensure biodiversity in our country improves with efforts such as the use of agroecology. Many small-scaled farmers are still using traditional ways to farm and most of them have never heard of agroecology. Introducing agroecology to them can lead to the production of more crops in addition to preserving ecosystems. Besides that, it could enhance soil health and fertility through organic farming techniques that reduce dependency on chemical inputs. Growing different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons could also maximise the usage of the soil nutrients in that certain area, potentially enhancing one of Malaysia’s main industries, agriculture.

Teenagers, with their unique combination of energy, idealism, and technological savvy, are potent environmental campaigners. However, despite their potential, they are often overlooked in discussions about climate action and biodiversity preservation. Therefore, this research seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge regarding teenagers' awareness and perspectives on climate change, biodiversity conservation, and environmental activism. The objectives of this research are to investigate teenagers' awareness of biodiversity conservation and to explore their attitudes towards environmental activism and their willingness to participate in such initiatives. Using a quantitative approach, surveys were administered to a sample of 200 respondents aged 13 to 17, with data analysed using SPSS version 22 to find the mean, standard deviation and correlation. The study seeks to assess teenagers' knowledge of climate issues and biodiversity conservation, as well as their attitudes towards environmental activism. The findings provide valuable insights into the awareness levels and attitudes of teenagers regarding climate change and biodiversity conservation, which can inform strategies for promoting youth engagement in environmental action. By understanding what motivates and inspires teenagers to take action, this research can help unlock their potential as a powerful force for environmental sustainability. Further research is necessary to fully leverage teenagers' potential in promoting climate action and biodiversity preservation, recognizing their increasingly important role in environmental sustainability.

This study explores the remarkable potential of the Paulownia tree and dung beetle in mitigating the impacts of global warming. The Paulownia tree, known for its rapid growth and exceptional carbon sequestration capabilities, emerges as a key player in afforestation efforts. Its ability to absorb substantial amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide offers a tangible pathway towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the symbiotic relationship between dung beetles and livestock waste presents a natural mechanism for carbon sequestration in agricultural ecosystems. By burying organic matter deep within the soil, dung beetles facilitate the sequestration of carbon, thereby offsetting methane emissions from decomposing biomass. Through strategic conservation efforts and ecological interventions, leveraging the prowess of the Paulownia tree and dung beetle could serve as a pivotal step towards bridging the gap in our fight against climate change. This interdisciplinary exploration underscores the importance of tapping into nature's innate resilience and ingenuity to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Major habitats are situated in Kuching, Sarikei, and Lawas Divisions, providing coastal protection, habitat provision, and biodiversity support. Socioeconomically, they provide locals the opportunities for livelihood through fisheries and timber wood harvesting, while significantly contributing to climate regulation by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This ability stems from mangrove trees' capacity to absorb more carbon dioxide in their roots than other forests in Sarawak. However, despite their importance, the population of mangroves in Sarawak has decreased by approximately 25% as of 2017, with numbers declining rapidly annually. This decline is attributed to factors such as the increasing number of aquaculture operations and over-exploitation of natural resources such as timber. Additionally, climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events, exacerbates the situation. It took natural disasters, notably the 2004 tsunami, to make all especially the stakeholders realize, acknowledge and appreciate the value of mangroves. The objectives of this research are to raise awareness to teenagers as they are the best people to take on the mantle of protectors of their environment about the ongoing threats faced by mangroves in Sarawak and propose practical short term and long term solutions. We have conducted surveys to gauge the level of awareness of this issue, revealing a generally low awareness despite the significant importance of mangroves.
