LETTER | It now has only three months left to survive financially before the accounts run dry.
| Zoo Negara Malaysia’s plight, and their need for financial assistance from the public, was highlighted by major newspapers in Malaysia last week, and concerned social media users have also utilised those platforms to help spread awareness regarding the urgency of the matter, and made requests for donations in the hopes of helping the zoo.
Of course, it is not ideal to keep animals away from their natural habitat, but human activity has caused problems that threaten wild animal populations. This involves the spraying of pesticide, the deforestation and cutting down of forests and the hunting of rare and endangered animals for their meat, skin and other parts.
Some 85 percent of the animals in Zoo Negara were endangered species, and 15 percent are heading to be extinct. Zoo Negara cares for animals whose habitats are in danger and who don’t have a chance without us, and keep them until they can be reintegrated back into the wild once their habitat is stabilised.
Apart from the Milky Stork, there are other species which are also under the zoo's conservation programmes. We know that if these conservation programmes are not done, future generations may not be able to see the species we are seeing today. With zoos and their conservation programmes, there is hope.
