Strengthening Tiger Conservation Efforts
Due to multi-fold challenges involved in conservation efforts, our strategy is to combine protection and monitoring of tigers as well as to engage with
communities. We are working with WWF-Malaysia and our partnership is conditional upon the support and participation of relevant governmental and
regulatory agencies. We will be able to report on the progress in 2015.
Environmental
Diversity
The decline in wild tiger populations in Malaysia has an adverse impact on the
biodiversity system and national heritage. There are only an estimated 200 to 250
wild tigers in Malaysia, in three areas: Belum, Terengganu; Taman Negara, Pahang;
and Endau Rompin, Johor. In this regard, Maybank Foundation is looking to develop
a long-term programme in the area of tiger conservation in the Belum Temenggor
Forest Complex.
