Alam Kelebar
Kelebar
means butterfly in Sarawak's local dialect. This name was
chosen overwhelmingly by the local community of Bintulu through
a poll conducted towards the end of 2002. Other names coined
were kebabag (Bintulu), kesulai(Iban), rama-rama(Bahasa Malaysia
for moth) and kupu-kupu(Butterfly).
Alam Kelebar (Butterfly World) is an effort by Taman Tumbina
Bintulu to increase it's species collection, attractions and
introducing the class INSECTA to it's visitors. The establishment
of Butterfly World directly creates an avenue for visitors
to get closer and understand the diverse species of butterflies.
