Volvo Car Malaysia Special
Ecologist Dzaeman Dzulkifli of Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre sets off on an excursion into the wild with Volvo XC90 as his companion
Ever since he was a kid, Dzaeman Dzulkifli, executive director of Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre (TRCRC) had a deep appreciation for nature and every aspect that governs it. Committed to protecting tropical rainforests and halt the destruction of their biodiversity in Malaysia, Dzaeman founded TRCRC in 2012 to help create a greener world for the next generation with eco-minded initiatives.
"I was always exposed to nature," Dzaeman says. "From the age of 5, I was already running around and exploring how things are, what nature does, and how it acts."
Stepping up as environmental pioneers, the ecologist and his team of experts have been innovating sustainable solutions, a goal that coincides with Volvo's new XC90.

A Force For Nature
There's no denying that the loss of biodiversity and deforestation has become one of the greatest environmental challenges the world is facing. In order to safeguard our plant species and ensure a stable ecosystem, Dzaeman has made it his priority to restore and conserve the rainforest by planting nurseries throughout Malaysia, where they can germinate, propagate, and eventually reintroduce rare and endangered plant species back into native habitats.
"Climate change is real and we're losing species," notes Dzaeman. "Rather than just talking about environmental issues, I wanted to develop an organisation that's action-oriented, tackling the issues head on; that's why I formed TRCRC."
