Special project grant
RM10,000 was awarded to the Friends of Bukit Kiara (www.fobk.org) for their work to protect their urban green space in Kuala Lumpur. The grant will part fund a bio-diversity survey to support an innovative application to the planning authorities to create a green buffer zone beyond the periphery of the park.
