このコンテンツについて
In this episode, I speak with Associate Professor Dr. Fiffy Saikim, Director of the Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Fiffy shares her journey from aquatic resource management into ecotourism and conservation, and why she believes that protecting biodiversity in Borneo can only succeed when local communities are at the center.
She discusses her work living alongside hunter and fishing communities, highlighting indigenous traditions like tavol and tagal that show how conservation is deeply rooted in generations of knowledge and culture. Fiffy also unpacks the challenges of balancing development and conservation, the urgent need to fund fundamental research in universities, such as taxonomy and biodiversity monitoring, and the lessons she’s learned from the resilience and wisdom of local people.
Her message is clear: achieving true sustainability requires harmony between people, planet, and economy. Or, as she puts it, “Don’t be ego — be eco.”
