A new tool

  • That will collate information on Malaysia’s sustainable travel destinations and projects.
  • That will connect travellers with organisations that help to conserve local culture, art and heritage, support local community projects or reduce the negative environmental impacts of tourism. 

Greenselipar’s objectives are

  • To provide easy access to the information required to build a “sustainable” journey in Malaysia for an aware and concerned traveller.
  • To promote and support sustainable nature and community-based tourism projects that currently exist in Malaysia.
  • To encourage further initiatives in sustainable tourism in Malaysia.

Who we are

The initiative started in Kuala Lumpur, driven by two Malaysian Nature Society’s Selangor Branch’s volunteers from Kuala Lumpur, Serina and Catherine.

We are currently building a Greenselipar steering committee.  We wish to include experts in Malaysian culture and heritage, social and community projects, and from the tourism and travel market.

MNS Selangor Branch committee will help with the Environment and Nature fields.

Green What?

greenseliparlogoSelipar means ‘slipper’ in Malay. This is the most common footwear worn by Malaysian men, women and children. It represents relaxed travel, leaves light footprints and must be taken off as a mark of respect before entering a Malaysian home.

It is the ideal travel accessory and souvenir from Malaysia.
