The Butterflies of the Malay Peninsula (5th edition): Book Launch during World Firefly Day celebration on 3rd July 7.30 – 10.30 PM MYT

The first edition of The Butterflies of the Malay Peninsula was written by A. S. Corbet & H. M. Pendlebury (1934) dealt only with the more common Malayan butterflies. The second edition (1956) was rewritten by Dr. Corbet and included every Malayan butterfly known at the time. The third edition, published by the Malaysian Nature Society in 1978, was revised by J. N. Eliot based on taxonomic work done in the years following Corbet’s death. He also revised the fourth edition (1992) which included all-new colour plates.

100% of the proceeds made from the sale of the book will be channeled to the Malaysian Nature Society. In addition to that, RM 80 will be channeled to the Insect Conservation Fund for each book sold. The Insect Conservation Fund was established by MNS to fundraise specifically for the Conservation, Education and Public Awareness activities related to the insects of Malaysia.
