PETALING JAYA, Oct 14 — Tamco Switchgear (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, together with Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and partner organisations, has launched a mangrove conservation drive in Kampung Sijangkang, Telok Panglima Garang.
The Tamco CSR 2026 Mangrove Planting Programme, themed “Plant Today, Protect Tomorrow”, saw 190 participants from Tamco, UiTM and agencies including TNC, Majlis Perbandaran Kuala Langat (MPKL), IBSD UiTM and IIESM.
A total of 200 Rhizophora seedlings — locally known as bakau — were planted at Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau, part of efforts to restore and conserve the coastal ecosystem.
Beyond tree planting, the initiative gave participants hands on lessons in mangrove conservation, highlighting the forests’ role in protecting shorelines, supporting biodiversity and strengthening environmental resilience.
