16th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
Imagine living without water, food or a home...
If we continue to cut down our forest, that’s what indigenous people, wildlife and even us living in cities will have to live without.
The forest in Peninsular Malaysia (which is older than the Amazon btw!) is not only the habitat of many species, but it’s also a source of our water💦 The rivers in the forest maintain water quality and ensure soil regeneration for agriculture🌾
Besides, we don’t want our Malayan Tigers🐯, Sunbears an...

Can You Guess How Old Is The Rainforest In Peninsu..
16th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
Can you guess how old is the rainforest in Peninsular Malaysia? 🤔
Over 130 million years old! Wow, that’s older than the Amazon!
But as the years go by, our forest is slowly disappearing 😢
The lungs of earth have been cut down to make way for agriculture, settlement and infrastructure development, reducing forest quality and forest area.
We can already see the impact of forest fragmentation, which includes:
🍂 damage to water catchment and river system a.k.a. our water supply

The Largest Land Mammal On Earth Is Actually The A..
13th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
The largest land mammal on earth is actually the African elephant. The elephants found in Malaysia are Asian elephants, which are smaller in size and have smaller ears.
🐘 Asian elephants are listed in the IUCN Red List as ENDANGERED to CRITICALLY ENDANGERED! There is an estimate of 1000-1500 Malaysian elephants left in the Peninsular Malaysia.
With forest loss & fragmentation, human-elephant conflict, and the rise of ivory poaching, we are losing our largest terrestrial mammal! 🌳

13th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
August 12 is a day for big ideas about big animals. World Elephant Day stomped onto the scene in 2012 as a way to raise awareness about conservation efforts for Asian and African elephants.
Anthropologist Jane Goodall, known for her work with chimpanzees, is using this day to call on the government of Canada to ban the country's legal trade in elephant ivory.

12th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
🐘🐘 It's World Elephant Day today and we'd like you to #BeElephantEthical. Some steps that you can take to help protect these gentle giants are:
- Saying no to the ivory trade ❌
- Protect their natural habitat 🌳
- Avoid places that exploit them for entertainment 🎪
Did you know, saying NOOOOO to elephants rides are a great way to start. Try not to be fooled by people who try to convince you that they are ethical in their training methods. The safest way is to REFUSE the ride!

9th Aug 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
Some of our volunteers on placement within the #CentralForestSpine had the privilege of working with Perbadanan Taman Negeri Perak - Perak State Parks Corporation rangers. After a day's hands-on learning session, they learned how to lay camera-traps to film forest animals in their natural environment, by tracking them to the 'salt lick': a salt lick is important in the ecosystem as it attracts many animals (typically herbivores🥬🥭) where they gather to consume essential nutrients and minera...

30th Jul 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
🐯Tigers have been around for a very long time. The oldest tiger fossils found are over 2 million years old! Less than a hundred years ago, tigers could be found across Asia.
Sadly, deforestation, hunting and poaching have decimated their numbers. It is sad to think that a species that has survived for millions of years can be wiped out over a few generations.
Thankfully for the Malayan Tiger, positive changes are being made to try and halt their rapidly depleting numbers. Well done to the...
