Environmental sustainability is an important agenda in developing community and country. Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), Management and Science University (MSU) recently kicked off its MSU Sg Damansara National River Trail Project with a cleaning of the riverbank behind the University’s campus grounds in Shah Alam Section 13.
A collaboration with Malaysia’s Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA) Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS), the MoU signed last August has research, development and innovation in the pipeline; along with focuses on hydrology and water resources, management of rivers and their corridors, consultation and advice, skills and training, and production as well as publication of high-impact journals.
The pilot project carrying out environmental appreciation and sustainable development activities along Sungai Damansara supports the UNSDGs’ Goal 15 for Life on Land. Ready to contribute to the target total of 10,000km national river trails nationwide, the MSU Sg Damansara National River Trail Project has fifteen developments underway in Phase 1. Walkways, jogging trails, and recreational areas serving community and entrepreneurship opportunities are set to be built on a 4km span between the MSU Campus and the MSU Medical Centre (MSUMC).
Students of Bachelor (Hons) and Diploma programmes in Traditional Chinese Medicine at MSU’s School of Pharmacy (SPH) are expected to directly benefit from the medicinal plants slated for cultivation.
Over three hundred volunteers including MSU students and alumni members joined in on the gotong-royong cleaning of the Sungai Damansara riverbank.
The planting of Salix babylonica (weeping willow) by KASA Secretary General Dato’ Seri Ir Dr Zaini Ujang and MSU President Professor Tan Sari Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid was the highlight of the project launch.
Also present were senior management teams of MSU, KASA, JPS, and the National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM).
Management and Science University (MSU) was ranked World Top 400+ and Malaysia Top 10 on the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings in 2020 for its support of the UNSDGs.
The MSU Sg Damansara National River Trail Project, preceded by the record-setting MSU River Revival Project, is the latest addition to the University’s climate-action portfolio; which includes the MSU Environmental and Sustainability Project (MESP), the MSU My Mountain Project at Selangor’s Gunung Nuang, and the award-winning MSU My Coral Eco-Marine Project at Geluk Island in Terengganu.
