JANUARY 26 — The public finds it hard to accept the statement issued by Kelantan’s forestry department director Abdul Khalim Abu Samah that logging helps to increase tiger population.
Tiger population in the country in 2014 was estimated to be between 250 to 400, according to data from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks , World Wildlife Fund , Wildlife Conservation Society and Persatuan Penyelidik Rimba Malaysia . The forestry department’s own statistic shows that the forest area in Malaysia has reduced 120,000 hectares from 5.81 million hectares in 2011 to 5.69 million hectares by 2020.These two data sets suggest that the tiger population has drastically decreased due to deforestation.
We should give our Malayan tigers to other sanctuaries that are not in Malaysia. Give them to the UK who while people say take other ppl's things, at least they keep them alive and well.
