ALOR GAJAH: The Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve here should be conserved and preserved to allow for the successful migration of predatory birds, known as raptors, which are essential in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Prof Dr Ahmad Ismail said the migration of birds of prey across the Straits of Malacca, from Sumatra in Indonesia to Tanjung Tuan in Melaka, covers a 38km distance.
