An SOS to Save Our Seladang

View descriptionShare
 

When we talk about Malaysia’s endangered wildlife, the Malayan tiger usually gets the most attention. But there’s another large mammal in serious trouble, and there may be fewer than 200 of them left in the wild. The seladang, or Malayan gaur, once ranged across much of Peninsular Malaysia, but today, only a few small breeding herds remain. Even in protected forests, their numbers aren’t recovering. So why are seladang struggling to survive? What do they actually need, and what can we do before we lose them? We speak to Datuk Dr John Payne from Bringing Back Our Rare Animals (BORA), and Dr Ahmad Zafir, a wildlife ecologist from The Habitat Foundation, who have been researching solutions to help bring seladang numbers back up.
