As-salam’alaikum السلام عليكم ❤️
Whilst I was out jogarunning 🏃🏻♂️ Jumana & Barachella, super senior & crippled Barakah & Buraq were walked by Bachtiar Siemen near the house 🏡 and mashAllah a young adult reticulated was stumbled upon by the monsoon drain! 🙀
Wildlife encroachment in Malaysia 🇲🇾 is indeed a critical issue driven by habitat loss (mainly due to the deforestation for the mainly development projects rather than agriculture) and of course greedy politicians will tend to point fingers to the illegal wildlife trade, and yet in reality when developers bulldozed forested areas to build expensive homes to lavish malls, leading to the anticipated increased human-wildlife conflict (roadkills to direct encounters) as wildlife species lose territorial space and become targets for these unfortunate contacts!
The need of highlighting the weak enforcement despite existing laws and thus, urgent calls for stronger protection and public awareness; yet nothing concrete has ever been done to prevent, reduce and curb these issues unfortunately.
The sad reality is that it has never been that wildlife has encroached our space but we have encroached their space, and we have failed to maintain the balance that the Almighty has placed the responsibility upon us humans: the most selfish species on earth!
Allahualam الله أعلم 😪
