MY forest ~ here's what we did in 2019

The Lamprigera sp., dubbed Kunang Mas (for the golden hue of an adult female, and MAS for Malaysia), was feted on two occasions this year, bringing attention to the amazing biodiversity of a small patch of forest called Bukit Kiara. On 30th March, the Malaysian Nature Society organised Dark Sky With the Fireflies @ Earth Hour 2019, which took nature lovers on a guided night walk of Lamprigera hot spots. The walk was followed by a briefing by MNS Wetlands Programme Manager Sonny Wong, who put his lifelong love of these bugs into a succinct presentation on why fireflies are an important part of nature and why they should be protected. In April, Kunang Mas was again highlighted during the Earth Day celebration organised by Friends of Bukit Kiara. During the day-long event, MNS promoted its hot-off-the-press Kunang Mas T-shirt and firefly car sticker, while Wong repeated his firefly presentation to an audience enthralled by these small bugs with large ecological value.
