Heard about the #10YearChallenge? This is the one we all need to care about. Forests help to mitigate climate change and provides homes for many species of plants and animals. Every year 46-58 thousand square miles of forest are lost to deforestation. But with the right changes in policy, our forests can still be saved.

WWF-Malaysia is horrified and disappointed in the torturous action captured in a recent circulating photo of tourists riding a suspected Hawksbill turtle - a totally protected sea turtle in Sabah.
If the case is identified to be in Sabah, it will breach sections 25(1) and 41 of the Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997; whereby if found guilty, punishment of imprisonment of not less than 6 months to 5 years and/or a fine of RM50,000 will be enforced.
If you witness something like this, please...

WWF Sarawak team took a longboat ride upstream Katibas River which is bumpy and dangerous. Only skilled boatmen can tame this river during the dry and rainy seasons. It's not for the faint of heart, but those drawn to protect our wild forests and rivers are usually made of stronger stuff.
