ADRECC RESEARCH EDUCATION CONSERVATION CENTRE
Description/achievement of initiative

Dedicated to educate people on research and conservation of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Through fun outdoor activities. Learn coral rehabilitation, reef restoration, citizen science programs on flora and fauna above and below water, seaweed farming as local community enrichment & more. Restoring habitats and by providing an alternative livelihood to local fishermen, we aim to conserve and enhance local biodiversity and ecosystems, educate more people for a global impact. Together with our partners, community and visitors, we strive to help achieve the SDG. Collaboration activity has done to witness the sustainability life style impact in North Borneo Sabah.

Implementation methodologies

(1) By request can be from any organization. \r\n(2) Through partnership & associate partners.\r\n(3) Our own program.\r\n(4) Meet a need in the relevant local community. \r\n\r\nWe research, study and understand the needs. Call for meeting not one time but until we have solid data, discuss the flow and how to go about it, team in-charged, sufficient coordinator and leader to monitor everything goes well as planned. We coordinate, monitor and implement our project on our own. Even if it is arrange by partners, we assigned a leader to monitor the entire project.

Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

Coordination mechanisms/governance structure

We met and built a partnership with people, organization, company who truly understand what is SDG all about. In order to strive the result fast and impact-full. Collaboration of awareness program, project, activity, talk, seminars, training and campaign which related to our goal. We have our own experience trainer and facilitator to run the event and all documentation will be taken care. We ensure the information and mission reach our correctly and ensure the clarity of our event. We well come everybody equally. After each event completed, we have debrief session and postmortem to ensure everything goes well. \r\n\r\nAll logistic, transfer, meals, drink water, first aid and anything needed will be proper plan in advance at least min 1 month early.
