2nd Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
#DYK that rain or shine, and even during the COVID-19 pandemic, WWF-Malaysia’s dedicated field teams have collaborated with the villagers of Rumah Manggat to monitor gaharu (Aquilaria microcarpa) planted in Ulu Sungai Menyang, Sarawak? These trees need a lot of care to prevent them from being attacked by caterpillars which can damage and kill the trees.

Realistically, A Global Scenario Without Palm Oil ..
2nd Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
Realistically, a global scenario without palm oil is illogical and detrimental. Simply removing palm oil from the value chain will neither protect nor restore rainforest, whereas a concerted action towards a sustainable palm oil industry can make a difference. Palm oil – when grown responsibly and to the best standards – is the highest yielding vegetable oil. So, substitution of palm oil with other oils, such as soybean, rapeseed and sunflower, can require significantly more land to produce ...

As The Demand For Palm Oil Steadily Increases, It ..
2nd Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
As the demand for palm oil steadily increases, it is important for us to ensure that palm oil is sustainably produced, used and consumed. Palm oil is also the world’s most traded vegetable oil, but growing it unsustainably can lead to devastating deforestation and harm to wildlife, people and the climate. Sustainable palm oil is important because it fulfils increasing global food demand, supports affordable food prices and poverty reduction. It also safeguards communities and workers’ social...

Palm Oil Cultivation And Production, If Done In An..
2nd Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
Palm oil cultivation and production, if done in an unsustainable manner, threaten the natural habitat of wildlife, and pose risks to fragile environments and biodiversity. However, when cultivated properly and planted in the right places, the production of palm oil would not negatively impact the environment. That is the difference between sustainable and unsustainable palm oil.

1st Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
#DYK that every part of the oil palm tree can be used? Crude palm oil can be extracted from the flesh of the oil palm fruit, and palm kernel oil can be extracted from the fruits kernel.

1st Nov 2021, by WWF Malaysia
#DYK that palm oil is the world’s most traded vegetable oil, widely used as a cooking oil and in the manufacturing of many food and household products?

Oil palms are originally from Western Africa, but can flourish wherever heat and rainfall are abundant. Today, palm oil is grown throughout Africa, Asia, North America, and South America, with Malaysia being the second largest pro...

26th Oct 2021, by WWF Malaysia
Billions of plastic bottles go into landfills and are polluting our planet every year. But now, we’re doing something about it. We made our latest tiger jerseys using 100% recycled bottles. Each tiger jersey was made with 50 recycled plastic bottles. That’s how many bottles you’ll be clearing out of nature’s way.
Proceeds from your purchase will also be channelled to support vital tiger conservation efforts. It’s a double contribution with just one purchase.

Dyk That The Production Of Gaharu Tea Can Help Sav..
26th Oct 2021, by WWF Malaysia
#DYK that the production of gaharu tea can help save orang-utans and improve the livelihoods of communities? Traditionally, in the production of most gaharu-based medicines, perfumes and incense, the main component used is the tree's resin. This resin is produced when the tree is damaged and infected by a parasitic fungus (Phaeoacremonium parasitica). In order to harvest this resin, the tree would need to be cut down. Rumah Manggat took a different approach altogether and are now producing gahar...

Meet The Local Champion Of Sustainable Rice Farming In Ba’ Kelalan
15th Oct 2021, by WWF Malaysia
#Part4 👉 Meet Harrison Thadem Sakai, a pioneer and local champion and trainer for SRI in Ba’ Kelalan, Sarawak. 💪 He is weeding his SRI plot.
Weed control is an important element in SRI to prevent losses in paddy yield and production costs and to preserve good grain quality. Specifically, weeds:
👉 decrease yields as crops have direct competition for sunlight, nutrients, and water;
👉 increase production costs e.g. higher labour or input costs;
👉 reduce grain quality and price.
