The Malaysian Cave and Karst Conservancy (MCKC) was established in 2015 to advocate for the conservation of caves and karsts, promote and conduct research, as well as to promote proper management of caves and karsts in Malaysia.

Initiated by a motley group of speleologists, this organization is a non-political, independent, non-profit public interest organisation. The MCKC Strategic Plan for conservation of caves and karsts is currently being put together. It will identify key threats to cave and karst in Malaysia; prioritise strategies to address key threats, elaborate strategies and formulate a plan of action.

MCKC is registered as a society and its membership is open to everyone who is passionate about conserving caves and limestone areas. Its current membership consists of researchers, conservationists and caving enthusiasts.
