WE refer to the report on the death of a young tapir on Oct 25, which has gone viral on social media and is raising a massive outcry from netizens and the public at large for solutions to be found to reduce or stop such unfortunate incidents.
Recent news reports have also highlighted roadkill of tapirs, elephants, tigers and other wildlife species. The Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) views with great concern the increase in such incidents and calls on the authorities concerned to take immediate measures to ensure wildlife and human conflicts precipitated by rapid developments around the country be addressed as a priority.
