Yearly, numerous complaints of macaque nuisances were submitted to the wildlife authorities. Monkeys were reported to cause havoc on locals' property and crops, especially those who reside in rural and suburban areas. In response to these public concerns, WRU has strategically installed fruit-baited traps in the affected areas across Sabah.

Last Thursday, WRU headed to a village in Beaufort following a report of a troop of aggressive, long-tailed macaques attacking and disturbing locals in the neighbourhood. In addition to the attack, the distressed locals also mentioned that the primates had been looting and destroying their property. Hence, our team has set up a steel trap strategically as an initiative to mitigate this conflict and advised the locals to quickly inform WRU once the animals enter the trap. However, no capture has been made yet, and the trap is periodically serviced.

Our deepest gratitude goes to our most ardent sponsors, the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation, ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK, and Oregon Zoo, whose contributions are the driving force behind all our wildlife operations. Thank you very much.

Last month, we successfully concluded the insightful 4-day, 3-night Honour Our Nature Outreach Programme 2.0 at Mahua Rainforest Paradise. A total of 90 passionate students and committed educators from 13 different schools across the districts of Tambunan, Ranau, Keningau, Nabawan, and Sandakan have taken part in various informative and interesting activities regarding wildlife research as well as conservation initiatives implemented by numerous of Sabah's conservationists.

Throughout this programme, participants had the golden chance to converse with several respected conservation experts, gain hands-on experience in setting up camera traps at Mahua Crocker Range Park, and develop an awareness of the need to preserve our biodiversity and humanity's vital role in safeguarding the environment.

In addition to that, a big shout out to the Wildlife Junior Rangers from SM. St. Michael, Sandakan, for the inspiring sharing about their admirable journey that has sparked interest among all attendees. Their stories of facing and overcoming insecurities, fear, and challenges have served as the driving motivation for all of us to do better for nature.

We are very pleased to have worked alongside the Sabah Wildlife Department, Danau Girang Field Centre, Orangutan Appeal UK, and Pangolin Aware in making this programme a success, and felt grateful for the opportunity that was granted to us. Despite the bad weather, everything went off flawlessly thanks to each individual's remarkable dedication and commitment.

Thank you very much.

In conjunction with the Biodiversity Forum organized by the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation together with Jabatan PERHILITAN Semenanjung Malaysia and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), we were invited as one of the speakers and exhibitors alongside several agencies such as Barn Owl, Management & Ecology of Malaysian Elephants (MEME), Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), Nature Ecosystem Society (NEST), Malaysia Forest Fund, the organizers themselves, and others.

Throughout the course of the two-day forum, among the topics covered were sustainability and best practices, human-wildlife coexistence, industry conservation initiatives, as well as policies and regulations protecting the environment and animals. In addition, our exhibition received lively visits from conservationist experts, undergraduates, and also the Minister of Plantations and Commodities, Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, who were amazed by the variety of our fascinating exhibits. Furthermore, we also had the privilege to visit the Malayan Tiger Conservation Centre (MTCC) and the National Elephant Conservation Centre (NECC) in Kuala Gandah, where we were able to observe the remarkable efforts made by the centres to preserve the well-being of the animals. Each activity has provided us with nuggets of knowledge and experience.

Hence, we would like to express our gratitude to the MPOGCF for the golden opportunity given to us. This will be an experience that serve as our motivation to strive better and continue doing the best for conservation.

Thank you very much.

KOTA KINABALU - Lesen memburu buaya dibuka sepanjang tahun oleh Jabatan Hidupan Liar (JHL) bagi mengimbangi populasi haiwan tersebut di negeri ini.

Bagaimanapun, Menteri Pelancongan, Kebudayaan dan Alam Sekitar Sabah, Datuk Christina Liew berkata, maklum balas yang diterima daripada orang ramai setakat ini adalah pada tahap yang minimum.

"Besar harapan saya agar langkah ini bukan sahaja dapat mengurangkan konflik antara manusia dan buaya tetapi juga membuka pintu kepada peluang baharu seperti pelancongan dan pengeluaran barangan mewah, sekali gus meningkatkan ekonomi tempatan kita," katanya.

Recently, the locals of Kampung Tembiluk Mengkabong, Tuaran, submitted a report to WRU regarding crocodile sightings in their neighbourhood. According to the worried residents, the predator was frequently sighted lurking in the river, threatening the people's safety as there were houses adjacent to where the alleged croc was spotted. Hence, WRU strategically placed a trap on May 6th, which resulted in the capture of a 7-foot-long male croc on last Wednesday. With the assistance of the locals and WRU's excellent collaboration, the operation went off without a hitch. The cold-blooded reptile was then temporarily sheltered at the Wildlife Rescue Centre for further action.

Kudos to all the individuals involved in the operation. Not forgetting our most ardent sponsors, the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation (MPOGCF), ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK (OAUK), and Oregon Zoo (OZ), whose contributions make all our wildlife operations possible. Thank you very much.
