One of the methods to know more about domestic or wild animals is going to the zoo. In Malaysia, there is a lot of zoo that placing animal’s especially wild animal. Moreover, I am one of the UMS students, so I have a lot of times to enjoying the view of flora and fauna that are familiar with Borneo, I already going to the zoo at Kota Kinabalu which is known as Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.

From there, I knew that Borneo is a rich variety of wild plant and animals. We also enjoy making the mouth of our tourists open wide, with the number of many species in Borneo. Whatever, all this impressive facts sound more like a number. Nobody really knows what the “real content” is. Many locals do not even know what are pygmy elephants and proboscis monkeys. At last, we have a “Lok kawi Zoo” (The correct name is “Lok Kawi Wildlife Park”). It is a good start, though it is not only showing animals that are native to Sabah. The entrance fee is RM10 for Malaysia Adult, RM5 for children, RM20 (nearly USD6) for foreigner adult tourist, RM10 for foreigner children. The admission is free for Malaysia Senior Citizens (above 60). The zoo is open daily from 9.30am to 5.30pm and the place is actually next to the Old Penampang road.

What they have? They have birds, deers, orang utan, proboscis monkeys, civets, elephants, ostrich, hornbills, tigers, otter, rhino, etc. They also have a Botanical garden, but I haven’t explored it. For serious visitors who want to learn something, it can be a full day trip. They also have elephant ride (for children below 12 only) at 10.30am - 11.30am and 3.30pm - 4.30pm. Overall, the facilities and trail are well planned. For bigger animals such as tiger, they have an allocated open space, and the visitors can see them from a viewing shelter, which is equipped with fans and description board.

3 Ways to Help End the Illegal Wildlife Trade

1.)
Keep your eyes open when surfing the Internet!
If you come across online offers on the Internet dealing in wildlife products or live protected animal species, then you should report these activities to your national authorities and to the web sites themselves to demand that they remove illegal wildlife offers.

2.)
Educate yourself and others about the origins of products that involve the death of wild animals.
Learn more about the trade in live animals and the cruelty and suffering that is associated with it. Form a group to campaign against the wildlife trade. Share your knowledge with friends and family and make them aware of this important issue. This kind of campaign is usually targeted students to educate and motivate them about wildlife conservation.

3.)
Don’t buy or sell wild animals or wildlife products online and offline.
Wildlife should not be considered as commodities to be traded, and animals should not pay with their lives so that people can own luxury goods. Do not participate in the wildlife trade. Regardless of whether an item was a souvenir, a gift or an heirloom, do not resell it. And make a conscious decision not to buy wildlife goods. If we don’t buy, they don’t die!

SUPPORT GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE CAMPAIGNS

Global warming

Current issue, ‘global warming’ is definitely a planetary emergency. Hundreds of millions of people could be harmed by coastal flooding, dwindling water supplies and shifting water patterns within a few decades. The changes could also drive many species towards extinction, particularly those with rapidly shrinking habitats, such as polar bears and penguins. We all know, everything in the natural world is connected. Disturbance in one part automatically stresses the entire ecosystem. It's time we took proper steps to control the damage.

One of the campaigns that we should join was “WWF’s Earth Hour” campaign. The campaign, which hopes to reach out to more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, encourage individuals, businesses and governments to switch off lights for just one hour on Saturday March 28, 2009 at 8:30pm to convey their support for action on climate change.
