EPSM was founded at a public meeting held at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur on 11 January 1974 by a group of Malaysians concerned about protecting the environment. It is a membership-based national organization, run by an elected Executive Committee on an entirely voluntary, non-profit basis.
EPSM has highlighted environmental problems through the mass media, made representation to government agencies, campaigned against polluters, undertaken surveys and studies, and contributed towards environmental education and awareness through talks, forums, seminars and its publication, Alam Sekitar.
Our record of campaigns include the following. Through networking and collaboration with both government and non-government bodies, we have contributed to various successful campaigns focusing on Endau-Rompin, Batu Caves, Tembeling National Park, Papan, Bakun Dam, the Societies Act Amendments and the Environment Impact Assesment. EPSM has also monitored the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and its subsequent regulation.
