Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday.
Did you know that tigers are devoted mothers? Tigers are solitary animals, so the responsibility of raising and protecting a cub falls squarely on the shoulders of the mother. Cubs normally stick to their mothers for the first two years before becoming fully independent. Young cubs are particularly vulnerable as they are born blind. The tigress has to be with her cubs all the time for the first two months, as they feed only on the milk provided by the tigress. ...

A safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment is necessary for the full enjoyment of a vast range of human rights, therefore we cannot afford to continue neglecting its significance.
Protecting, preserving and maintaining our environment is more holistic and cost effective, as it seeks to prevent rather than to repair.
We appeal to all politicians to inform the voters how you will work towards realizing environmental aspirations for the benefits of the people and, more specifically, what...

Today, WWF-Malaysia celebrates the launch of Mameng II, signifying continuous solid commitment towards working in Tun Mustapha Park, or widely known as TMP. Mameng is the silent witness of WWF-Malaysia’s commitment in working to build support for the establishment of Tun Mustapha Park (TMP), which was gazetted in 19 May 2016 by the state government. However, after 11 years of good conservation service, Mameng has finally put its oars to rest. Mameng II is a rebirth. It is with great hop...

Updates On 7th May 2018
7th May 2018, by WWF Malaysia
Trees and plants absorb water into the ground and soak up excess rainwater, preventing floods. They also store water in the ground and release moisture through their leaves, mitigating the impact of drought. Their roots hold soil together and minimise erosions and landslides. Destroying this environmental integrity such as clearing forests and paving large ground areas will ultimately remove our rights to a clean environment.
‘We must aim to achieve development in a sustainable way to balanc...

A totally dried up farmer's watering hole on a farm near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia. Victoria and New South Wales have been gripped by the worst drought in living memory for the last 15 years. River levels have dropped, water holes have dried up and stocking rates on many farms have dropped as the land can no longer support as many beasts.

In the absence of sustainable development and without proper protection of nature, the risks of natural disasters will increase.
Floods and drought for instance destroy crops and livestock, leading to loss of livelihoods and food insecurity.
Both lead to different health implications from lack of sanitation, and waterborne and airborne diseases.
The costs to clean up after severe flooding, or to provide water during shortages, can run into millions of ringgit.
Imagine if these disasters a...

For indigenous peoples, a pristine environment can fulfill their rights to ensure the survival of their culture, traditions and well-being. At the same time, the exercise of human rights, including the rights that we all have to information, consultation and participation (also known as procedural rights), is vital to the protection of the environment.

For indigenous peoples, a pristine environment means more than just having clean air to breathe and water to drink. An unspoiled environment can fulfill their rights to ensure the survival of their culture, traditions and well-being.
‘Malaysia is recognised as one of the top twelve countries in the world for megabiodiversity. We are blessed with tropical rainforest, mangroves, peatland, and montane forests. While development is meant to increase our standards of living and grow our economy, ...

The local people in Semporna use mangrove wood for construction of houses and jetties, and other uses. We are part of the natural ecosystems and our very own survival depends on them.
A safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment is necessary for the full enjoyment of a vast range of human rights.
This includes at the most basic level, the right to food, medicine, clean water and air, which in turn fulfills the right to health; the right to shelter (where we get our materials from), and...

In an online survey on environmental concerns that was carried out recently, more than 86% Malaysians are concerned with pollution of rivers and seas. This makes sense as marine debris particularly is a global problem that impacts people residing in coastal communities in a lot of ways.
For instance local fishermen have to change location or not fish at all if too much waste is seen floating. At times they are also required to change their fishing gear as waste caught by gill nets included woo...

Have you heard the good news? Thanks to public donations, WWF-Australia was able to successfully raise enough money to buy and retire the last commercial gill net still operating full time in Far North Queensland. Gillnet fishing is nonselective which means they often catch species other than those being targeted.
In fact, the net is already out of the water and no longer threatening precious marine life such as dugongs, snubfin dolphins, marine turtles, sawfish, hammerhead sharks and the criti...
