tiger tales

The petition calls for:

Maximum sentences for killing or trading in tigers and other endangered species.
Civil society allowed to support the investigation and prosecution of wildlife crimes, and alternative penalties.
Sustainable forestry certification to be re-evaluated for forests where tigers are killed.
Highest priority to be given to maintain tiger habitats and halting further forest fragmentation within the Central Forest Spine landscape.

MNS is a proud member of the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT), a platform to bring the government and NGOs closer together for information exchange and collaboration for tiger conservation.

As part of its tiger programme, MNS promotes Community Action through the Sahabat Raja Rimba group for the wildlife corridor of Sungai Yu in Merapoh, which runs under the busy Lipis-Gua Musang highway.
Though still in the early stages, MNS hopes to cultivate a strong brotherhood of tiger protectors to help reverse the devastating decline in the population of these majestic kings of the jungle.

This is the bittersweet moment Avi is released into the wild, when she seems more interested in getting back to the humans she knows than the natural forest that is alien to her.
Avi was one of four juvenile sun bears released under the Save The Sun Bear Campaign, a joint effort by Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd, Malaysian Nature Society, Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, on a three-pronged approach of rescue, rehabilitation and release (3Rs); public awareness; and research...
