MyBIS team of FRIM Forest Biodiversity Division takes part in the exhibition held in conjunction with the 12th Heart of Borneo (HoB) Trilateral Meeting held in Miri, Sarawak.

The team promoted MyBIS’ role as Malaysia national biodiversity database as well as highlighting on its function and the variety of information available from the website. MyBIS website is a free website and can be accessed on different interfaces such as desktop, tablet and mobile phones. The application of MyBIS QR codes on materials such as the MyBIS book series enables users to get more information from the website. Recently, users can also use the mobile app ‘Telegram’ for species search by entering the related keyword on the MyBISbot.
