How wildlife corridors are protecting orangutans in Borneo 🦧

Past human activities have broken up large swathes of forests of the Kinabatangan floodplain in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo into fragments. Orangutans and other wildlife are now trapped inside isolated forest patches, with no alternative other than venturing through agricultural land and villages when moving between islands of protected forest. HUTAN's scientific research guide their efforts to create strategic wildlife corridors and to reforest degraded areas with native trees, ensuring safe passage, food and shelter to orangutans and other species. At the same time, Hutan provides environmental education and training to communities and landowners to live side-by-side with wildlife. -- Over the last ten years, the evidence that we face urgent challenges to protect the environment has become indisputable, and it’s clear that the time to act is now. Drawing inspiration from the concept of moonshots, which since the moon landing in 1969 has become shorthand to talk about the most ambitious and ground-breaking goals, Prince William announced The Earthshot Prize: an ambitious set of challenges to inspire a decade of action to repair the planet. We believe in the power of human ingenuity to prove to us all that the seemingly impossible is possible. -- Learn more about The Earthshot Prize here: https://earthshotprize.org/ The Earthshot Prize on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theearthshotprize The Earthshot Prize on Instagram: twitter.com/TheEarthshotPrize The Earthshot Prizes on Twitter: facebook.com/TheEarthshotPrize The Earthshot Prizes on Facebook: instagram.com/TheEarthshotPrize #EarthshotPrize #Nature #orangutan
Protecting Their Home: Malaysia’s Natives Help to Save the Endangered Malayan Tiger

Protecting Their Home: Malaysia’s Natives Help to Save the Endangered Malayan Tiger

Over the span of over five decades, the Malayan Tiger population has shrunk dramatically from 3000 to a mere 150 fighting for their lives. A non-profit organisation, RIMAU is working to save the tigers by ‘putting boots on the ground’ with a specialised patrol team made up of members of the Jahai tribe who have lived in the Royal Belum-Temengor forest complex for centuries. Dedicated to saving the tiger, RIMAU believes that community efforts are crucial in its long-term conservation goals. These efforts involve empowering the Jahai people with a sense of ownership for their home and at the same time, creating sustainable livelihoods. ____________ Find out more: https://rimau.ngo/ Read the full story: www.ourbetterworld.org/series/a-wild-life/story/saving-the-malayan-tiger ____________ Director: Lydia Lubon Producer: Tan Pei Lin Camera: Wong Chin Hor Sound: Kheng Loon Fung Editor: Vevainedra Hendry Writer: Tan Pei Lin Executive Producer: Ivan Tan ____________________________________________________________________ For more inspiring stories subscribe now! http://bit.ly/14Ohz8G Our Better World - Telling Stories.

Lahad Datu Standoff: Who Has Rightful Claims Over Sabah - Malaysia Or Sulu? | Insight | Full Episode

*Editor's note: The episode has been updated for clarity and to include recent developments that occurred after the initial airing. It has been 10 years since the Lahad Datu-standoff, where armed militia from Sulu invaded the Malaysian State of Sabah. The month-long confrontation left 71 dead and led to tightened security in Malaysia’s easternmost state. More recently, individuals representing the Sulu Sultanate attempted to seize assets from Malaysian state-owned company, Petronas, claiming arrears for unpaid dues over the disputed territory. As the Malaysian government challenged the seizure in court, their Filipino counterparts have said it will not interfere in the affair. The Sulu Sultanate, meanwhile, continue to press their claims over what they see as their ancestral lands. Could tensions lead to a repeat of the violence from 10 years ago? 00:00 Introduction 01:43 How the Sulu militia tried to invade Lahad Datu, Malaysia 07:30 When the Lahad Datu standoff turned deadly 10:53 Victims of Lahad Datu stand-off 14:50 Why Sulu militia tried to seize Sabah 21:24 The Sulu's thoughts on Lahad Datu 27:05 Aftermath of Lahad Datu standoff 33:16 Philippines president Marcos' stand on Sabah 36:23 Impact of Lahad Datu standoff, 10 years on For greater INSIGHT into issues affecting Asia: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMf14VQEvTaHr6oTqYbWqKOsmcveuhca =============== ABOUT THE SHOW: Insight investigates and analyses topical issues that impact Asia and the rest of the world. ========================== #CNAInsider #CNAInsiderInvestigates #Malaysia #Sabah #Sulu For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnainsider/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cnainsider/ Website: https://cna.asia/cnainsider
