Vet Bio-R engages Malaysian and Thai youths in hands-on bioremediation using Vetiver grass, fostering environmental stewardship and climate action. This project, a cross-border partnership, focuses on practical learning such as soil assessment and Vetiver planting. By demonstrating Vetiver’s benefits in carbon sequestration, erosion control, and biodiversity, it enhances climate change awareness and supports sustainable development in both countries.
