According to my research, I'm stick on my topic. Multimedia. And its topic is about forest. Alhamdulillah thank to Allah because today, i meet my friends sister for discuss about her website design. Along the discussion, i tell to her and her husband about my idea to re branding what ever marketing strategy of forest organization trough screen base like website or game promotion. So they suggest a person who involved in forest, Mr Ruben and I got his contact number. After i back to my home, I make some research about Rimba website. Rimba organization no longer using the previous domain name, www.rimba.org. Google can't find it but what I'm just found is www.myrimba.my.
input from this website:
- Using RIMBA as a organization name because in malay, Rimba is a jungle.
- Tagline that they us is 'because we NEED a jungle out there'.
- Established in november 2010.
- The are not NGO and non-profit research group.
- Experience in many kind of biodiversity groups like bats, birds, butterflies, fish, large mammals, molluscs, plants and spiders.
- Any project was noted on this website.
Another RIMBA Project:
- The Kenyir Wildlife Corridor Project: Effectiveness of highway viaducts as wildlife crossing structures
Several highway viaducts termed as ‘eco-viaducts’ have been built by Malaysian road authorities along highways with the intention of helping mammals to cross highways safely. What they do is to make some research about the effectiveness of Highway viaduct for wildlife at Kenyir. Also in Gerik, Perak.

- Management and ecology of Malaysian Elephants (MEME)
Its about a research program that aims to (1) assess the effectiveness of current elephant management policies in Peninsular Malaysia, (2) develop a practical long-term management strategy based on scientifically sound knowledge of elephant behavior and ecology, and (3) build local capacity to produce a new generation of wildlife researchers and managers of high scientific caliber.

- Flying foxes, flowers and fruit
This preliminary project is still in its infancy pending further funding. It aims to investigate whether declines or extinctions of Malaysian fruit bats have any consequences for ecosystems and economies. Rimba must identifying and quantifying their specific benefits to humans.

- A Lifedesk for Malaysian terrestrial molluscs
set up a ‘Lifedesk’ on Malyasian terrestrial molluscs under the Encyclopedia of Life Program. This online database contains information on Malaysian terrestrial molluscs from literature and reference collections. In the end, we hope to complete a corpus of literature for each land snail species from Malaysia for public access on the internet.

- Ecology and conservation of blackwater fishes under land-use change
Peat swamp forests are one of the most unique, but at the same time, one of the most critically imperiled ecosystems on Earth. Despite being rich in fish species — many of which are strict endemics found nowhere else — Southeast Asian peat swamp forests are being lost at unprecedented rates. While previous studies have surveyed the fish communities in the peat swamps of Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, the ecology of peat swamp fishes with respect to their spatial/temporal species richness patterns, community structure, and response to habitat degradation remains unknown.
What i can see about this page is a lot of useful information in there. It was good for internet viewer and good for biodiversity and ecosystem learning. In term of website design, they use a wordpress as a website base and very simple design.
Note:
- Additional resouces at here http://natureramble.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/tales-from-rimba-2-why-did-the-chicken-cross-the-road/ and http://planetofthemonyets.blogspot.com/
- Suddently i got and idea after i read a several post in myrimba blog, AES camera was using in jungle.. =D
- Maybe if i stick on website development, i will use this topic as a research:
- Effectiveness of website in order to bring a human awareness about forest.(Bgaimana website dapat membantu secara efektif dalam meningkatkat kesedaran orang rmai terhadap hutan.)
