The Habitat Foundation

The Habitat Foundation is a charitable trust based in Penang, Malaysia and the non-profit sister organization of The Habitat Penang Hill. The two organizations complement each other in the shared mission to connect people to nature through education and outreach. Through our programmatic work we are actively supporting rainforest research, enhancing protected area management, conservation initiatives, and habitat restoration. The Habitat Foundation is committed to working with a wide range of partners towards finding effective pathways to safeguard the diversity of life and the living environment upon which the future depends.

  • We are pleased to announce the recipients of THF’s 2022 Grants which support biodiversity conservation through Research, Conservation, and Sustainable Tourism.

  • We are proud to work with people from all walks of life working to mainstream biodiversity through research, education, innovation, and public participation.
  • Conserving our natural heritage will require all of society.
