Last Friday, WWF-Malaysia, The StarOnline and D'Jungle People came to Taylor's to have exhibition and gave briefing on the Tiger Trex Temenggor-Belum Rainforest Expedition.
Tiger Trex is an interesting event where the selected person from the winning team will get the chance to visit Temengor-Belum Rainforest to check out on the camera traps to track tigers. Other than this, they also can interact with the Orang Asli over there and do jungle trekking where they can see the wildlife in the jungle.
To win the place, students will need form a team of 4 and submit either 10 photo stories or a graffiti and or a video recording on a specialty dish.
The Tiger Trex is part of the TX2 activities. The purpose is to create awareness on tiger conservation and to DOUBLE the number of tigers.
Talk given during the day on Fun Facts about Tiger and Tiger Conservation from WWF.
The talk by WWF-Malaysia was indeed useful.
It was so shocking that hunting tigers is actively happening around us and we did not realising it.
According to WWF-Malaysia, 50 yeas ago, there were about 3,000 of tiger population in Malaysia. But now, it only left 500. Just imagine, how many will be left in the coming next 50 years if nothing has done to save the tigers?
Not many of us realise that the tigers are getting to their extinction if we humans do not act fast on protecting them.
Tigers are being hunted illegally, cruelly and uncontrollably.
These hunting activities need to be stopped. If not, there will be no more tiger to be found in elsewhere.
