For the love of nature
A business graduate found his true calling, by following his heart, writes Oon Yeoh
JUST because you didn’t study a subject you love doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue it when you go out into the work force. Mohd Ros Effendi, who hails from Perlis, studied business rather than something related to nature but upon graduation, decided to follow his heart.
Effendi, as he’s known, was able to return to nature when he landed a job with an eco-tourism company. He made the most of this opportunity, learning as much as he could on the job. Today, he’s helping to design interesting activities for people to experience and appreciate nature.
It’s amazing to look at how animals interact with each other and with the environment. Last year, I got to witness the behaviour of the White-Bellied Sea Eagle where the male locked toes with the female and they began to spin together in the air as a courtship ritual before mating. It was quite an amazing sight. Rainforest of Darulaman Sanctuary. I do and I never tire of watching them. Whenever I turn on the television, the first channel that I will turn to is National Geographic. It has been like that ever since I was a young boy. I love to watch documentaries about animals and the universe. nature. If you want to do it, there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Malaysia has a lot of interesting natural places that we can visit, so during your days off, you can always just go to one of those places.
It’s easy. You can use the Internet to check the various nature destinations in Malaysia. You could join clubs that do outdoor activities. There are also eco-tours that are very good. There are many options now.
