PUTRAJAYA: The Natural Res­our­ces and Environmental Sustai­nability Ministry (NRES), through the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan), will take proactive measures to combat wildlife trade, including stepping up enforcement at the country’s entry points.

Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said efforts to manage and protect wildlife include planning, coordinating and monitoring enforcement management at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to ensure that inspections and control over import, export and re-export activities comply with regulations.
