Pinnacle of passions


Away in Kuching on this March Escapade’23, I have a good overall view of what  I have done in Bintulu on the Kambatik Park.   Sometimes we need moments of detachment to figure out all what has been done at the nature park and evaluate it for better understanding and focus, and then what’s next?

As a project that has taken more than ten years of development, I can say that it is the culmination of many strengths.  Firstly, the project has to be sustainable before any further commitment can be poured into its further investment in terms of time, efforts, funds and future planning.  To this end I can safely say that this has been achieved as I have managed to stay on with the project and passionate about it despite having to juggle time, money and efforts on daily basis to care for the place till presently.

One thing that I have done in Kuching on this trip is to create a new blog called “Kambatik Ecopreneurship”.  With some major success being achieved, I can now look back at many aspects of its development.  These include philosophy, vision, planning, economic viability, marketing and aesthetics.  This latest blog will document in pictures and writing the story behind the nature park that can act as a ready source for future reference.

My strengths in photography, writing, planning, dedication towards work, passion for plants, art and life-long learning have contributed tremendously to realise this dream project.  The Kambatik Park is my pinnacle of passions.

Kambatik Park from northerly view


This is a view of the park taken from a northerly location that is from top of a hill.  This view of the park has not been able to be taken earlier because there was no access to the hill previously.  Until of course the northern area of the park was illegally intruded and bulldozed for somebody's oil palm plantation.  The bulldozing was halted and I gave stern warning to the intruder not to venture further into the park area.
The actions of the intruder will be subject to further scrutiny from now onwards.

Smoking the Fernery


 At the Fernery, Botanical Island One.

Spent a good two hours at the Fernery this morning.

Did more clearing works and a bit of additional planting.

Did also smoking to the place to get rid of mosquitoes and at the same time to produce burnt earth.
