Relieving pressures on biodiversity

MPOC is committed to strike a balance between development and the conservation of Sabah’s protected species.

LIKE firefighters, wildlife rangers drop whatever they’re doing upon receiving an alert call.

Anticipating some form of aggression from the hurt and scared wildlife they are about to save, these rangers from the Sabah Wildlife Department’s (SWD) Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU) rush to gather protective gear and necessary equipment - anaesthetics, emergency drugs, tell-inject darts and guns, crates, chains, translocation cages, walkie-talkies, GPS and the likes - to embark on the rescue mission.
