Elephant Tragedy Highlights Urgent Need for Costly Wildlife Corridors in Malaysia

The recent death of a mother elephant in Malaysia has sparked a crucial conversation about wildlife corridors. Experts emphasize the need for safe passage for animals, but the costs are substantial. Tuan Arie from ERA's 3 Pagi radio show discussed the challenges, stating, "It's not just about whether we can build these paths, but the immense cost involved." He highlighted past attempts dating back to 2017-2018, emphasizing that creating these corridors is not simply a matter of diverting animal routes; it requires careful consideration of existing habitats and the animals' natural behaviors. The conversation underscores the importance of conservation efforts and the need for sustainable solutions to protect Malaysia's wildlife.
