Your support not only protects wildlife, it also directly improves human wellbeing. In places like the Setiu Wetlands in Terengganu, conservation work goes hand-in-hand with enhancing the livelihoods of local communities. About 4,200 mangrove seedlings have been replanted since 2008, while thousands of students and visitors have learned more about the importance of wetlands and turtle conservation.

IMPROVED HUMAN LIVELIHOOD

Mangrove replanting is an important component of wetlands conservation.

idWWF-Malaysia has won the support of 27 teacher education institutes throughout the country to make sustainability an integral part of all these institutes. Through this programme, it is hoped that sustainable development will be integrated into the lifestyles of campus citizens, going beyond the institutes’ policies; and ultimately, that these practices will be passed on to the younger generations in schools once the student teachers have graduated. We are also working towards having environmental education infused into the National Curriculum by 2014.

WON SUPPORT OF TEACHEREDUCATION INSTITUTES

Participants of WWF-Malaysia’s “Sustainable Teacher Education Institute” programme observing de-barking, a process that cuts down extra moisture in green wood, during a field trip to a charcoal factory.

From 1977 to 2003, WWF-Malaysia’s mobile education unit reached out to more than 1 million schoolchildren around Peninsular Malaysia, sharing the nature conservation message with them.

Local community members who support our conservation work through involvement in low impact nature-based tourism activities and economic activities that are compatible with the sustainable use of local natural resources, are not only playing an important role in environmental education, they are also improving their quality of life.

The health of forests, our source of freshwater and other natural resources, depends on species such as these. If any one of these species is extinct, negative effects can spill over through an imbalanced food chain, thereby causing the dynamism and stability of the ecosystem to be adversely affected and altered.

In North Ulu Segama, Sabah – where, as of September 2011, 1,200 hectares have been replanted with native trees, out of the total 2,400 hectares allocated to WWF-Malaysia by the Sabah Forestry Department for reforestation – orang-utan nests have increased.

As fruit eaters and travelers, orang-utans play a large part in dispersing seeds and keeping diversity of rainforest woody plants. Efforts to restore the forest are aiding the orang-utans and it is hoped that their population will increase in the new future. Their protection is vital to the overall health of the lowland forest ecosystem of North Sumatra and Borneo, where they thrive.

ayAs part of the Global Forest and Trade Network (GFTN), WWF-Malaysia works to eliminate illegal logging and transform the global market place into a force for saving the world’s valuable and threatened forests. And this involves conducting a High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) assessment in the forest concession that each forest participant manages.

WWF developed the HCVF National Toolkit for Malaysia in consultation with all stakeholders as a guide on HCVF interpretation and assessment in 2009. As you continue to support WWF, HCVF Resource groups in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia was established and trained in 2010 to move forward to adopt the HCVF concept.

WORLD’S VALUABLE AND THREATENEDFOREST BEING SAVED

Deforestation contributes to climate change as standing trees are important carbon sinks; another reason that conserving forests is vital to safe guard human wellbeing.

In the 1970’s, WWF-Malaysia’s work with government agencies, wildlife surveys and recommendations contributed to the establishment of the Sabah Foundation’s Danum Valley Conservation Area, Pulau Redang Marine Park in Terengganu, Kulamba and Tabin wildlife sanctuaries in Sabah, Sg Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary and Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary in Sarawak, as well as Perlis State Park and the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Sabah in the 1990’s. In 2004, Ma’Daerah was gazetted as a Turtle Sanctuary by the Terengganu state government. WWF-Malaysia has been working there since 1999

Over the last year, 402 hawksbill turtle nests were incubated in Melaka and in Paka-Kerteh and Setiu in Terengganu, with hatch rates above 70% and 80% respectively. Notably, in Setiu, the hatch rate for eggs collected by trained rangers exceeds 90%. This means thousands of turtle eggs were rescued from poachers and incubated in hatcheries, with the hatchlings being released into the sea.

In Sabah, The Berungus community of Pitas is collaborating with a resort in Kota Kinabalu to supply fish caught from their community managed area. In this way, the community and the resort are partnering to help protect the reefs around Berungus, while offering resort customers the option of purchasing sustainably caught fish and contributing to the income of the Berungus community.

Turtle conservation is critical because these animals play an important part in keeping marine ecosystems healthy, the same ecosystems that provide our seafood as well as sustain our fisheries and ecotourism industries.

Department of Fisheries Malaysia has agreed to adopt a new paradigm for fisheries management called Ecosystem-based Management of Fisheries (EBMF). In this new paradigm, the entire ecosystem – fish, fish stocks and habitats – are considered important for management. While it was once important only to produce more fish, now it is understood that the ecosystem must be healthy to produce more fish. The findings from a workshop held in February 2011 will form the basis for formulating an EBMF Framework for Fisheries Management in Malaysia, which will eventually lead to more sustainable fisheries.
