18th Jul 2019, by WWF Malaysia

However, we can still do more to protect the species. The orangutans' survival in isolated forest patches will depend on the creation of wildlife corridors that will link fragmented forests together, allowing the species to breed as well as to travel for food a...

The Story Of Palm Oil
5th Jul 2019, by WWF Malaysia
Globally there are now up to 27 million hectares planted with oil palm - much of it on land that was previously jungle.
Think you need to avoid palm oil? Actually oil palm is one of the world’s most productive crops and when grown sustainably it’s one way to help keep our remaining jungles standing🌴
We can all demand palm oil that hasn’t contributed to deforestation and choose to shop with brands and retailers that support it 👍

This morning our #Freshwater team in #SetiuWetlands, #Terengganu rescued a pregnant #paintedterrapin that was caught in a fishing net called "pukat pari", while trying to get to the beach to lay its eggs.

Painted terrapins are a #Critica...
