WWF praises Sabah’s conservation efforts despite multiple jumbo deaths

WWF-Malaysia is working with the Sabah government to ensure its wildlife — such as elephants, orangutans and turtles — are protected.

“Sabah has a policy to turn 30% of its land as protected areas, having all forest reserves certified and having all oil palm plantations certified according to the requirements of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil .”“There’s 4% more to go … a lot of people are looking to Sabah now,” he told reporters after a courtesy call on Chief Minister Shafie Apdal at his office here today. The team was led by WWF Malaysia chairman Tungku Ali Redhauddin Muhriz.

“We have already collared 13 elephants. Their movements are tracked every four hours and we will share this information with oil palm companies,” he said, adding that the WWF had discussed the setting up of wildlife corridors with oil palm plantations. “We must involve these smallholders and villagers in our project, which is called the Living Landscape. In Tawau, we have formed a cooperative with smallholders and village folk,” he said.
