Tasik Chini has initiated knowledge-based programs in order to promote and provide site-specific knowledge and experiences. Since its inception in 2009, a total of 14 programs have been conducted up to August 2013 during the pre-dossier preparation, pre-establishment, and post establishment.
Each program provided a thematic understanding of the Biosphere Reserve. To ensure visitors have a satisfactory experience, each program was tailor-made according to the educational background, travel motives, and duration of the visit.
Scientific aspects were sought from experts in the pure science and social sciences, especially in terms of knowledge, real-life experiences, and hospitality of the locals. These experts provided in-depth knowledge of the major domains of the ecosystem – the lake, hydrology, forest, tourism, aborigines, and culture as well as conservation initiatives, which were later molded into holistic knowledge of this Biosphere Reserve.
