Leaf to Life: Session 2 🌱

On 22 August 2026, we welcomed participants back to the UBD Botanical Research Centre for the second session of Leaf to Life: Connecting People, Plants, and Climate Resilience.

Through guided botanizing activities, interactive learning, and a plant treasure hunt, participants discovered more about Brunei’s native plant diversity and the important role plants play in supporting climate resilience.

From observing plants up close to uncovering the stories behind Brunei’s botanical heritage, the session was a day of learning, exploration, and meaningful connections with nature.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made today’s session a memorable one. We hope you leave with a deeper appreciation for the plants around us and the role we can all play in building a more resilient future. 🌿

Learning through nature, one leaf at a time.

🌿 Fieldwork at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre (KBFSC), Ulu Temburong 🌿

On 21 July 2026, the UBD Botanical Research Centre (UBD BRC) conducted fieldwork at KBFSC in the Ulu Temburong National Park as part of our ongoing ex-situ conservation research activities focusing on native flora of Brunei Darussalam.

The field team, which included five international internship students from Hong Kong institutions, explored the Canopy Walk and Sungai Mata Ikan to collect and document plant materials in the field.

During the fieldwork, the team successfully collected live plant specimens and voucher specimens, contributing to ongoing botanical research, plant identification, and the
conservation of Brunei Darussalam’s native plant diversity.

Fieldwork such as this provides valuable hands-on experience for our interns, while supporting the continued documentation and conservation of Brunei’s rich plant diversity. 🌱

Over the past month, the UBD Botanical Research Centre hosted our intern, Neo Xuan Che, a student from NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, Singapore.

During his internship, Xuan Che gained hands-on experience in plant conservation, botanical research, various activities supporting the management of our living plant collections, and outreach programmes. Xuan Che also assisted research activities of the IBER Forest Ecology team in Brunei’s forests, including mangrove tree diversity studies at Pulau Selirong.

Thank you, Xuan Che, for your enthusiasm, dedication, and contributions throughout your time with us. We wish you all the best in your future academic journey and look forward to seeing all that you achieve!

Learning through nature, one leaf at a time.

On 14 June 2026, UBD Botanical Research Centre launched Leaf to Life: Connecting People, Plants, and Climate Resilience, a new outreach programme held in conjunction with the International Day of Education in Botanic Gardens and supported by the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).

The inaugural session involved 24 participants who explored Brunei's native plants through guided botanizing activities, a talk on climate change and plant adaptation, and an interactive plant treasure hunt. An immersive UBD Campus Nature Walk was also held, highlighting the interesting biodiversity and native Kerangas forest found within the university grounds.

With upcoming two sessions in August and October this year, the UBD BRC’s Leaf to Life Programme continues to inspire stronger connections between people, plants, and a more resilient future.
