About Us


Global Environment Centre (GEC) prides itself in being the first in Malaysia to introduce the concept of"Civic Science" as a way to approach community participation in river management. Civic Science is an approach towards educating the community about caring for their own enviornmnet. This approach has been widely used in many western countries but it is still relatively new in Malaysia. The concept applied is as follows:
Most of the environment related projects emphasize on the awareness and knowledge, but lack on the skill to take action on the issues that matter the most. By ensuring that people have the awareness, knowledge and skill, only then can they take action to fix the problems at hand. This is the approach that GEC have been promoting throughout its project.
