Malaysian nature society

The genesis of our society predates our country’s independence -- a group of British expatriates deeply interested in our country’s lush natural heritage decided that the abundant collection of field notes and natural history records which they had accumulated was vital to the country’s heritage and should be published. In 1940, with the publication of the Malayan Nature Journal Volume 1, the Malayan Nature Society was born.
      Evolving from a core group of society volunteers, the secretariat now features a team of 40 dedicated full-time staff who see to its day-to-day running, administration and project management.
      MNS have pioneered conservation in Malaysia for the last seven decades, making a difference through habitat conservation and environmental education. Through the joint efforts of our members, partners and supporters, MNS have become a strong voice for the protection of our country’s natural heritage. We will continue presenting our stand by promoting and ensuring responsible environmental stewardship in this country.
Our Vision: For Malaysia’s natural heritage and rich biological diversity to be effectively protected, managed and conserved for the benefit and appreciation of all Malaysians.
Our Mission: To promote the conservation of Malaysia's natural heritage.
Our Motto: “Know nature, value nature and act for nature.”

  • Member-driven: MNS shall always be a member-based and member-driven society, deriving its strength from a committed and active membership.
  • Independent: MNS is a self-governing, non-government and nonpartisan organisation.

  • Transparency: MNS shall maintain transparency and accountability in all its dealings with members, and external supporters and partners such as funding agencies, sponsors, government agencies, and the public.
