IC-CFS holds Serangkai: Ekspresi Hubungan Insan dan Alam event/ exhibition at Central Market Kuala Lumpur

So IC-CFS had their Serangkai: Ekspresi Hubungan Insan dan Alam event/ exhibition at Central Market Kuala Lumpur (Pasar Seni) which went on for 4 days….

IC-CFS - Serangkai: Ekspresi Hubungan Insan dan Alam is an exhibition themed event which targets bringing people and the environment together through interactive, entertaining and educational booths….

The event highlights the interconnectedness and connectedness between Humans and Nature through the sharing of physical, audio and visual information by the IC-CFS project spearheaded by Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia (JPSM) with the support of other collaborative partners: PERHILITAN and FRIM.

The event which was held at Central Market Kuala Lumpur from 27th to 30th October from 10am to 6pm definitely drew many interest….

Serangkai means "the same  or even one of a series" and such is the relationship between Man and Nature - though events and appearance can differ, we are somehow still closely related and connected….
