"Managing Human-Wildlife Conflict: Insights from BORA’s Datuk Dr. John Payne" Managing human-wildlife conflict is crucial in Malaysia to preserve its rich biodiversity, sustain ecological balance, and ensure both human safety and economic stability. These conflicts, often driven by the exploitation of natural resources and competition for space, can lead to severe declines or even extinction of wildlife. Effective conflict management is vital for sustainable development and meeting legal and ethical responsibilities, fostering a harmonious coexistence between wildlife and communities. In response, Bringing Back Our Rare Animals (BORA) is leading efforts in habitat recovery to address these challenges. BORA’s initiatives include the establishment of the Sabah Ficus Germplasm Centre, wetland restoration in the Kinabatangan floodplain, and the preservation of the Malayan tiger population.
