Training for officers to deal with wildlife seized from illegal trade

KOTA KINABALU: Training for front line officers dealing with live wildlife confiscated from the illegal trade was recently held here, as the challenge had rarely been addressed in Sabah before.

The four-day programme, which ended on Thursday (July 28), was organised by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) with support from WWF-Malaysia and in collaboration with the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD), IFAW said in a statement.
