Joanes gave the introduction of the visit to the participants. Mr. Clement from Taman Tumbina gave a briefing to the participants on Taman Tumbina’s activities, history and several conservation related topics. Participants are later briefed on the objective of the program and the upcoming CABEP 2011 final program in September. Each school was provided with a digital camera for them to use. At around 9.00 am the participants are eager to go on the tour. They were divided into two groups with the first group led by Joanes, Noel and David James meanwhile the second group was led by Belden and Ollience.
The participants went on to the Butterfly Garden where some butterflies have just emerged from their cocoons.
