Bringing new life to our to our townships
We are delighted to share that our efforts to enrich the biodiversity, sustainability and liveability of our townships and developments has already yielded promising results.
Our sustainable initiatives are focused on three core pillars:
SECOND PILLAR
Sustainable Business
We do this by mindfully managing our green infrastructure, fostering 6R waste management practices, and building a Wetlands Arboretum Centre as a research centre in the Wetlands Arboretum in Gamuda Cove, among other initiatives.
Wetlands Arboretum
Gamuda Land earmarked 90-acre of prime land in Gamuda Cove for the creation of the Wetlands Arboretum, envisioned to be a natural sanctuary for wildlife conservation, nature research and forest fitness. The Wetlands Arboretum is designed with the aim of fighting climate change while fostering education and biodiversity research with the development of a Wetlands Arboretum, located within this sanctuary.
Our Action Plan:
Wetlands
Arboretum Centre
Set within the Wetlands Arboretum, our Wetlands Arboretum Centre will be established to host an environmental education based and introduced a living plant museum to propagate plants species that suit local habitat with a focus on wetlands ecosystem set up as part of Gamuda Group’s overall conservation and carbon sequestration efforts.
Endangered Species
Reintroduction
As a forest seedling bank and nursing ground for healthy plant stocks, seeds will be gathered for propagation and research purposes. Priority is given to growing native species and trees with high values under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list. Progressive monitoring and observation systems are implemented to ensure a 100% survival rate for these plants.
Green Infrastructure
We strive to live in harmony with our natural surroundings, replacing harder elements by fostering green innovation when planning our greenscapes.
Our Action Plan:
Permeable
Path
We have replacing concrete pavers with permeable path to promote porosity which allowing for water infiltration to replenish precious potable water.
Green
Rooftop
We have implemented a network of green roof systems at Gamuda Gardens Central Park that store rainwater and support rooftop urban wildlife habitat for birds, butterflies and other pollinators.
Rain
Garden
We integrated bio-swales at most of our parks as to collect rainwater, detain run-off, filter pollutants and allow for ground water infiltration. A shallow depression planted with deep-rooted native plants and grass.
6R Waste Management
We have committed to reduce our waste to landfills at different stages. In circular economy, we eliminate waste by actively practice the 6R - Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Rot, and Repurpose.
