KUALA LUMPUR: A RM1.2mil allocation has been set aside to finance a study of the orang utan population in Sabah for a period of two years.
The fund was allocated by the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation , an agency under the Plantation and Commodities Ministry.
“Even though there have been various studies in the past, we will conduct this one and we want to see how the population trend is. “The purpose of this event is to inform everyone that we are not only giving priority to the oil palm industry but also preserving the biodiversity of wildlife, including the orang utan.
“The biggest threat to the orang utan population is poaching, and the Borneo orang utan is categorised as a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature with an estimated population of 104,700,” he said. He said the Malaysian oil palm industry had carried out several conservation activities for the endangered animals.
