KUALA LUMPUR: The Wildlife Conservation Act 2020 is being reviewed to find ways on how zoos in the country will become more self-sufficient in the future, says Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.

"For the long term measure, the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry through the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) has held consultation sessions with the Malaysian Association of Zoological Park and Aquaria (MAZPA) and zoo operators to review the Wildlife Conservation Act 2020 to develop a new model for zoo operators.
