Partnerships Drive Change, And That Change Require..

Partnerships drive change, and that change requires an integrated approach. With this in mind, WWF-Malaysia launched a partnership with Procter & Gamble (P&G) to support conservation efforts centered on the Malayan tiger within the Central Forest Spine (CFS) in Peninsular Malaysia. The 2-year collaboration, which started in January 2021, aims to help ensure survival of the Malayan tiger by restoring degraded areas and reconnecting forests, while taking into account the needs of local communities who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.

After passing the 1-year mark, the project has successfully planted over 2000 trees, and maintained a further 25 hectares of existing trees. This helps to ensure the conserved area continues to be an important ecological linkage for large mammals like the Malayan Tiger. Another milestone is the completion of the land use maps and spatial mapping exercise. These maps will be used to understand the current land use and will be utilised for the strategies and development of the P&G supply chain, in support of their sustainability efforts.

With fewer than 150 Malayan tigers left in the wild, collaborations such as this are key to conservation efforts. In conjunction with Global Tiger Day, the recently released image of four tiger cubs and their mother in the wild, captured on camera traps, gives a glimmer of hope for the survival of these majestic creatures. However, we all must work together to ensure that these cubs continue to be protected and thrive, and ultimately, save the Malayan tiger from the brink of extinction.
