Millions of pangolin have perished in the hands of poachers to satisfy the demand for their meat and scales. Wildlife crime takes years of tracking across borders and remains to be one of the most difficult to prosecute.
Pangolins are sadly not equipped to deal with the human threat - they curl into a ball in fear and can be picked up effortlessly, making them easy victims to the heinous wildlife trade.
We can still do our part to save them. Spread and share the message to stop consuming wild ...

Did you know only 24% of the 38,000 metric tonnes of waste that Malaysia produces daily gets separated and recycled, while the rest would end up in landfills? This is becoming one of the major threats to our rivers and water resources. WWF is working jointly with H&M to address solid waste issues with a focus on triggering public awareness towards reducing waste.

Why are hornbills so important to forests?
Hornbills are famously known as “farmers of the forests.” They inhabit the forest as fruit-eaters and play an important role in seed dispersal, thereby keeping the forests healthy and diverse. If one hornbill can scatter one seed a day, imagine how many seeds it can disperse in one year?
Yet, according to Shumpei Kitamura, a tropical ecologist and hornbill-expert, these beautiful forest farmers are threatened by everything from forest loss to hunt...

Hornbills have a unique breeding behaviour.
The female will be sealed up in a suitable tree cavity with the eggs and chicks for a few months, till the young ones are fully fledged. The female and chicks are completely dependent on the male for their survival. If the male hornbill is caught or killed, what will happen to its family?

Valentine’s Day is celebrated on Feb 14 and it’s a time for people to shower each other with gifts and chocolates to their loved ones. But did you know that Feb 13 is “Love Hornbill Day”?
Hornbills are monogamous and mate for life. This is why the celebration falls on the eve of Valentine’s Day, to highlight eternal love and loyalty, and also to raise conservation awareness for these majestic birds.

WWF-Malaysia has been working on the ground for 14 years in conserving hawksbill turtles together with the Department of Fisheries Melaka. We are currently looking for individuals who are inter...

Malayan Tiger Crisis
6th Feb 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Looking at the current situation, there may not be any Malayan tigers left by 2022. That's just 2 years from now. We don't want to see this happen.
In 2008 we had 500 tigers, but today there are less than 200 left. Why are our tigers disappearing? You will find the answer in this video.
30,000 tiger heroes have pledged. We need more heroes like you. Pledge today at http://www.wwf.org.my/tigerpledge
