Meenakshi Raman

As President of Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM), Meenakshi Raman oversees the six pillars of their environmental efforts that operate out of Penang and Sarawak. The nonprofit was established with the hope for interdependence and equity between Malaysia’s ecosystems, indigenous communities and modern society – a hope that Raman is deeply committed to, having been chair of the international body before assuming the presidency in the Malaysian branch. With SAM’s platform, today, Raman continues to run initiatives that protect her dream of an ecologically-sound society and protest anything that comes against it.
