PETALING JAYA: From elephants encroaching into residential areas to multiple tiger sightings reported since January this year, human-wildlife interactions are no longer uncommon.
Wildlife experts and conservationists attribute this to habitat loss, adding that it signals a need to increase protected areas.
“The implementation of plans such as the Central Forest Spine Master Plan in Peninsular Malaysia remains critical,” he said. “This includes logging and increased poaching. Poachers also prey on carnivores such as tigers, forcing them out of their natural landscapes,” he said. He added that the government should empower and give more resources to the Forestry and Wildlife departments to ensure there are more monitoring stations and patrolling personnel.
