Institute of Biodiversity And Environmental Conservation
The Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation (IBEC) was set up in July 1994 as one of the founding institutions within UNIMAS with the purpose of promoting research in two niche areas: Tropical Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation. Its teaching and research program are structured at the masters, doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Research and teaching program in IBEC have been established upon the following two concepts:
1. The acquisition of knowledge concerning the significance and modes of sustainable development of natural resources is of paramount importance to Malaysia's future development. Development initiatives will be self-defeating and socially destructive unless the structure, functions and diversity of the nations' natural system are understood and judiciously protected.
2. For Malaysia to forge ahead as a developed nation, the country's industries must seek to manage sustainable resource, because biodiversity and environmental conservation provide greater options and significant opportunities for diversification of industrial activities and economic development.
Know Us Better...
Since 1997, the Research Institute has grown bigger in human resources. As of now, there are eight academicians & researchers, with six supporting staffs to strengthen the Institute's core business and services. Without these people, the Institute could not achieve what you see today.
