26th May 2019, by WWF Malaysia

Say NO to the hunting of sun bears. Do your part. Save wildlife.

Finisher medals for the Malayan Tiger Run 2019 are made of recycled remnant wood.
This not only reduces the need for raw materials, it also lowers human impact on the environment.

23rd May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
"We need more researchers to study painted terrapins, because they might be ‘no oil paintings’ but they are priceless parts of the natural world and yet we know so little about them. We also need more funds to hire and train more people from the local communities to help conserve them, to establish a better hatchery, and to buy more field equipment such as microchips, scanners and satellite trackers."

Welcome to Gunung Lesong National Park.
In early 2018, SARAWAK FORESTRY Corporation (SFC), and the nine villages around the mountain, led by Mr. Victor Luna Amin, formed the community-based ecotourism committee, known as “GLCBET." WWF-Malaysia is currently working with Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) and the Gunung Lesong Community-Based Ecotourism Development Committee to see how co-benefit sharing can be implemented for the benefit of the environment and people.

Biodiversity Day Food
22nd May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
🤔💭#DYK That two of the biggest challenges we face today are halting nature loss and feeding a growing population? ⚠🛑
Loss in nature results in the loss of crops🌽 we depend on, which makes our food security less resilient. But how we produce our food is also causing natural ecosystems to shrink. We must transform what we eat and how we grow it, to secure our health🏥, our food 🍳, and our biodiversity🌎.

World Biodiversity Day - Food Blogger Aun Koh
22nd May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
The rise in population and food consumption puts a strain on our 🌏 and the incredible diversity of life it supports - otherwise known as biodiversity! Diets need to transform; not only do we need more plant-based foods🥦, but meat and fish must be sustainable too.🐟
But diets must also fit local cultures and preferences, and be available and accessible to all. 🥒http://wwf.panda.org/our_work/food/sustainable _diets/

22nd May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
Gunung Lesong National Park, also commonly known as Bukit Lingga, like other totally protected areas in Sarawak, has outstanding natural and cultural resources. The legendary mountain is traditionally known as a sacred mountain for the Iban community particularly, during the era of head hunting.
In those days, many people around Gunung Lesong would climb up the mountain top and perform the divine offering (nampok), seeking for the spiritual power for use at communal warfare or something valua...

World Biodiversity Day - Food Diversity
22nd May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
🤔 💭#DYK we (or the world) get(s) nearly 50% of our plant-based calories from just three crops? Even though we could be eating thousands?
Without diversity in what we eat, our food system is less resilient to diseases and pests😷. The biodiversity we need to protect includes crops🌾 and animals we eat🐔, not just wild species 🦍🦒🦏.
As a consumer, you can do your part by eating a wider variety of foods 🥒🍄🍗🍱.

17th May 2019, by WWF Malaysia
💧 Water isn't as abundant as you may think - but if we all use it carefully, we can ensure there will be enough water for everyone, even in the most extreme conditions. Here are 2 simple tips:
1️⃣ Collect rainwater, and use it to water your houseplants and garden. 🌵
2️⃣ Use a bowl instead of a running tap for washing vegetables - you can save about five litres of water each time. 💦#Connect2Earth #EarthDay
