Recognition  

                         

             

With such increasing interest in insect research, it was an honor that our organization was given the privilege to host the 4^th International Conference for Butterfly Exhibitors and Suppliers in 2000. It is through years of uncompromising research and development that earn our organization the recognition of being the pioneer in its field.

Within our organization we distribute our effort in participating and collaborating with many wildlife related organization such as:

• MAZPA (Malaysian Association of Zoological Parks & Aquaria),
• MNS (Malaysia Nature Society),
• SEAZA (South East Asian Zoological Association),
• SASI (Sonoran Anthropod Studies Institute), USA.
• IABE (International Association of Butterfly Exhibitions)
• ICPS (International Carnivorous Plant Society)
• ARNIZE (Asia Region Networking of International Zoo Educator)
• ICBES (International conference for Butterfly Exhibition and Suppliers)

It is through these association and organization that we receive and contribute information on research, breeding, education and development of the insect kingdom to be shared to the whole world.

While Penang Butterfly Farm being one of a kind tourist related project, it is a thriving example of the private enterprise assisting a state industry (tourism) development.  Because of Mr. Goh’s contributions to this area of development, the farm was awarded a Certificate of Merit in 1990 by the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Tourism of Malaysia for being the Best Tourist Attraction.  In 1991, the farm was awarded the Special Commendation Gold Award by PATA.  Then in 1996, in the Tourism Industry Inaugural Award, the farm was awarded the Best Tourist Attraction by the Penang State Government and the Penang Tourist Center.  Little did Mr. David Goh realize that his boyhood obsession would lead to a multimillion dollar business in the tourism industry and an international scientific reputation.
