KUCHING: WWF-Malaysia will be organising a two-day event to celebrate indigenous communities who have been championing conservation efforts in Sarawak in conjunction with International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
THE importance of nature and sustainable economic progress in Sarawak’s communities is the focus of a new coffee-table book published by World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia (WWF-Malaysia).
As a science-based organisation with decades of experience in orangutan conservation work, WWF-Malaysia believes that it is our duty to provide accurate and factual information about these primates as part of our ongoing educational efforts.
Orangutans are not hunters and do not have a “predatory” attack mode.
As such, it is very unlikely for a wild orangutan to want to climb down from a tree, just to get close to human beings and attack them.
The Bornean orangutan has been listed as critically endangered in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status since 2016, which means the species is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild if population decline continues.
The Bornean orangutan is the largest tree-dwelling mammal in the world. Known as one of the three species of orangutans, they belong to the only genus of great apes native to Asia
