In his capacity as an expert and advisor to the Umhum Homestay Community Enterprise, Mr. Tinlakas conducted fieldwork to collect in-depth data on the community enterprise. He also examined water quality and environmental dispute issues, particularly the case of pig waste discharge from upstream to downstream areas, which has affected local farmers.
