Bukit Dinding is a forested hill in Kuala Lumpur. FoBD helps keep it known, cared for, and protected.
Friends of Bukit Dinding is a registered non-profit that works to protect Bukit Dinding as an urban forest, public green space, recreational landscape, biodiversity site, and place of community value.
Why Bukit Dinding matters
Bukit Dinding sits between Wangsa Maju and Setiawangsa. It rises to 291 metres and covers more than 300 acres of forested hill.
People come here to walk, run, hike, ride, watch birds, train, and take a break from the city. The hill is accessible enough for everyday use, but rich enough to matter far beyond recreation.
Its value comes from the overlap: trails, biodiversity, geology, history, local memory, public health, community stewardship, and the question of how Kuala Lumpur protects its remaining green spaces.
Risk is cumulative
What is at stake
Bukit Dinding is used and loved by many people. That alone does not secure its future.
Development pressure, slope sensitivity, unmanaged use, fragmented information, and unresolved land-status questions all affect what happens next. FoBD keeps the hill visible, understandable, and connected to public action.
Practical stewardship
What FoBD does
FoBD brings residents, volunteers, trail users, researchers, partners, and supporters together around practical stewardship.
The work includes public education, trail care, tree planting, slope awareness, biodiversity activities, data collection, scientific excursions, surveys, community coordination, and advocacy for responsible governance.
