World Environment Day Nature Walk at Taman Tugu 🌳

In conjunction with World Environment Day, members from across the Archdiocese gathered at Taman Tugu, Kuala Lumpur, for a morning nature walk organised by the Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry.

Participants explored the various trails within this unique urban forest, taking time to appreciate the richness and diversity of creation found within the heart of the city. Along the way, they encountered colourful butterflies, dragonflies, birds, frogs, and a variety of flora, offering moments of wonder and reflection amidst nature’s beauty.

Beyond the physical activity, the gathering provided an opportunity for participants to experience the practice of “forest bathing” — slowing down, being present, and reconnecting with the natural environment. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of creation, many found renewed appreciation for the gift of God’s creation and the importance of protecting it for future generations.

World Environment Day serves as a reminder that caring for creation begins with small and intentional actions. Inspired by the teachings of Laudato Si’, the Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry encourages all people to take practical steps towards environmental stewardship and responsible care for our common home.

As we continue to enjoy the beauty of creation, may we also deepen our commitment to safeguarding it for the benefit of all.
