A total of 83 children from PPMS attended the Puppet Show and Exhibition Programme organized by 11 Banggi Youth Club (BYC) members in PPMS Felcra, Batu Layar, Banggi on the 28th May 2011. PPMS, Projek Perumahan Masyarakat Setempat, is a government's initiative aimed to lift targeted families out of poverty and dependence through Agropolitan Project under the responsibility of FELCRA Berhad, Ladang Rakyat, Pulau Banggi.

The objective of this activity is to increase the awareness of PPMS children about the dangers that plastic waste pose to the marine environment, and to gain support from the community for the Green Lifestyle Campaign to be implemented from July to June 2011.

A puppet show was performed by BYC members with the theme "Kerana Plastik Penyu Menjadi Mangsa” (Because of plastics, Turtles become victims). The children were so taken with the show and it was performed twice at their request. This further enhanced their understanding of the message. An exhibition was also held at the same time to emphasize the message through reading materials. Although some of them may not be able to read yet, the children liked and learned from the audio-visual learning activities. A quiz was carried out to test the knowledge and awareness among the children based on the puppet show and exhibition. For those who answered correctly - many of whom did - presents were given. The programme wrapped up with the Pakiring-kiring dance led by members of BYC.

The programme was conducted successfully with positive feedback from those who were present. With funding from WWF-Malaysia, BYC was given a free hand to conduct this programme, in their preparation for organizing future events.

A Trip to Pulau Tigabu on the Eastern Edge of Tun Mustapha Park

Image
By: Angela Lim, SSME Senior Communications Officer On Saturday 30 January 2010 , I was fortunate to join the Kudat PCA team to Pulau Tigabu, within the proposed Tun Mustapha Park ( TMP ). Besides being a weekend, the trip took a bit of sacrifice as it involved waking up at 5am ! The early departure on the Mameng (WWF’s 10m boat) was so that we could catch the tide and avoid bad waves. By 7:30am , we sped away from Kudat marina and were rewarded by a spectacular sunrise and a good calm sea. With us on the trip were Encik Fazrullah Abdul Razak, Marine Park Manager of Sabah Parks, Encik Jimli Perijin, Wildlife Enforcement Officer of Sabah Wildlife Department, and Encik Amillson Baragus, a consultant for WWF’s alternative livelihood assessment study. Encik Fazrullah wanted to promote the establishment of the proposed TMP , while Encik Jimli aimed to introduce Sabah Wildlife Department’s Honorary Wildife Warden (HWW) role and recruit participants for the HWW training coming up in March.

CROC INCIDENT OFF BALAMBANGAN ISLAND

Posted by: Ishahm Few days ago, when I just got back from a long journey, some friends told me there was a crocodile attack at Balambangan Island. I was not so sure about this news and as always I will be sceptical about the croc stories especially when it comes to Kudat area. I’ve heard stories about crocodile killed man out in the sea and far from the crocodile's ‘wandering area’, but there are no evidence to make my self to believe that croc attack really does happen here, I even asked a police friend few months ago, and he said ‘mana ada kes buaya’. Anyway, the latest incident which happened just last week makes me now believe that those previous attack by crocs were true!

Have you thought of what these two big brands can do together?

 According to Complex - an online media platform for youth culture; "The 50 Most Iconic Brand Logos of All Time" , ranked Google at No. 10 while WWF is not too far behind, at No. 24.  For WWF, the iconic  reminds us of the importance of preventing the degradation of the biodiversity where human lives in harmony with Nature. On the other hand, the logo is, needless to say, a globally-known mission to a world of universally accessible and useful information. In this boundary-less century, everything seems to be possible. WWF-Malaysia holds the value - 'together possible' - which is shown in the efforts from Google and WWF-Malaysia's collaboration in putting  Tun Mustapha Park (TMP) on  Google Street View Many thanks to Mr Nhazlisham Hamdan from Google Inc., for providing training and assistance to the team. Travelling from Kota Kinabalu to Tun Mustapha Park (TMP) took approximately three hours.   The mission was monitored by team
