Cherish The Unusual
Borneo is the third largest island in the world and one of the most important ecological hotspots. The proboscis monkey, which lives only in Borneo, has been listed as endangered due to severe threats.
Why are they important?
Proboscis monkeys are one of the few organisms unique to Malaysia, also play an important role in biomorphology as seed dispersers in mangrove forests. Without proboscis monkeys, mangrove forests would not be able to reproduce effectively.
Habitat Destruction
Deforestation for agriculture, logging and urban development has led to the shrinking of the monkeys' natural habitat, leaving them with limited space to find food and suitable living conditions.
Illegal Poaching
Hunted by locals for their meat, fur and body parts. They may also be captured for the illegal pet trade. This directly threatens the survival of the proboscis monkey population
Pollution
Water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial activities affects the availability of clean water and the health of the ecosystems on which it depends.
Who are we?
​Our objective is to increase awareness and educate individuals, specifically the younger generation, to become committed protectors of these incredible creatures and their endangered habitats. Let's explore and learn together about these incredible creatures!
