WWF-Malaysia welcomes the decision by the authorities to suspend the proposed sturgeon project in Sungai Tabung, Kuala Tahan. Based on news reports in Sinar Harian (Projek ternak sturgeon pindah on March 23, 2015) and The Rakyat Post (Environmentals Celebrate Victory Over Sturgeon Project on March 24, 2015), the proposed location for the project was deemed unsuitable due to the sensitivity of the area.

World Wide Fund for Nature-Malaysia (WWF-Malaysia), a leader in environmental conservation, would like to congratulate the Royal Malaysian Police, Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (Perhilitan), Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia and the Department of Veterinary Services and Immigration Department on the recent ‘Ops Khazanah’ in Taman Negara National Park, which was successful in making a number of arrests and confiscations in regards to poaching in the park.
