This International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate the women of Teburi and the vital role they play in supporting their families, strengthening their communities and shaping a more resilient future.

When people think about conservation, they often think about protecting wildlife and forests. But conservation is also about the people who live alongside nature every day.

In Teburi, women play an important role in supporting their families, strengthening their communities, and helping shape a more resilient future. As entrepreneurs, caregivers, farmers, and community members, their contributions help drive positive change on the ground.

Through the GROWS project, community members are building their knowledge and skills, exploring sustainable livelihood opportunities, and identifying crops that are less attractive to elephants, helping diversify household incomes while reducing vulnerability to human-elephant conflict.

On this day, we shine a spotlight on the women whose determination, resourcefulness, and leadership continue to strengthen their families and communities.

Because conservation starts with people.

What can wildlife experts, researchers, government agencies and conservation practitioners tell us that data alone cannot?

At the Species Distribution Modelling Stakeholder Consultation Workshop, participants came together to review and validate habitat suitability models for 22 wildlife species across Sabah. While models help identify potential habitats and patterns, the experience and insights of those working on the ground are equally important in ensuring these outputs reflect reality.

From discussing species distributions and habitat connectivity to identifying gaps, challenges and opportunities, the workshop highlighted the value of combining science, local knowledge and field expertise to strengthen conservation planning.

Rare species don't protect themselves. It starts with knowing they're there.

While World Migratory Bird Day shines a spotlight on birds and their incredible journeys, the same principle applies to all wildlife: conservation starts with understanding what species are present, where they occur, and the challenges they face.

Before a species can be protected, it must first be identified, documented, and understood. This is where wildlife monitoring plays a vital role.

Through camera trapping, bird surveys, field observations, and other scientific monitoring methods, researchers gather valuable information about the wildlife that inhabits Sabah's forests and landscapes.

Every camera trap image, bird record, and wildlife sighting contributes to a larger picture. These observations help researchers identify species, understand where they occur, make behaviour predictions, track population trends, and assess the threats they face.

The knowledge gained through years of monitoring contributes to resources such as WWF-Malaysia's Rare, Threatened and Endangered (RTE) Species Booklet, which showcases some of Sabah's remarkable wildlife while making conservation knowledge more accessible to the public.

Every record, photograph and observation adds to our understanding of the natural world, helping inform conservation action for the species that need it most.

Because we cannot protect what we do not know. 🐘🌿

🐦 Every observation helps tell a story.

From recording migratory birds during field surveys to monitoring wildlife through camera traps, every record helps us better understand the species that share Sabah's landscapes. Camera traps have even recorded the Malay night heron (Gorsachius melanolophus), a species considered a rare migrant in Borneo.

Deep within the forest, camera traps continue working long after conservation teams have left. These silent devices capture wildlife that are rarely seen, such as the Malay night heron, revealing how animals move through the landscape and which habitats continue to support them.

But these images are more than remarkable photographs.

Each one provides valuable information about wildlife presence, behaviour, and habitat use. For threatened species such as the Bornean banteng, Bornean clouded leopard, and Hose's civet, these insights help conservationists identify important habitats, track changes over time, and inform conservation action.

Every photograph tells a story.

This World Migratory Bird Day, we celebrate the power of observation. Every sighting, image, and record contributes to a deeper understanding of nature and helps inform conservation efforts for migratory and resident species alike.

🐦 Every Bird Counts. Your Observations Matter.

What can a single observation tell us about a landscape?

In Sabah, camera traps are often used to monitor mammals and other elusive wildlife. But sometimes, they capture unexpected visitors. One such record is the Malay night heron, a species considered a rare migrant in Borneo. Captured by a camera trap in Ulu Kalumpang Forest Reserve, Tawau, its presence shows how these tools can reveal species that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Beyond simply recording a species' presence, camera traps also provide valuable clues about how birds are using the landscape. Images of both captured male and female individuals of species such as the Bornean crested fireback (Lophura ignita), as well as immature Malay night herons (Gorsachius melanolophus), help build a clearer picture of the birdlife these habitats support.

Each observation contributes to a better understanding of ecosystem health and reinforces the importance of conserving forests, wetlands, and other natural habitats that support both resident and migratory species.

This World Migratory Bird Day, we celebrate the power of observation and the role that monitoring plays in helping us protect the places wildlife depend on.

: The average size of monitored wildlife populations has fallen by 73% since 1970.

But the Living Planet Report tells us something else, too...

Elephants are growing in number in parts of southern Africa. Tigers are coming back. More green turtles are hatching. Pressure on the Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tuna is easing.

None of this happened by chance. It’s the result of sustained action by people who refused to look away. This is what hope looks like in action.

And if we’re going to outpace nature loss, we need more of it — from governments, businesses, investors and all of us. Because what happens next is not yet written.

Experts, researchers, government representatives, conservation practitioners and partners came together today for the Species Distribution Modelling Stakeholder Consultation Workshop in Kota Kinabalu.

The workshop provided a platform to review, validate and refine habitat suitability models for 22 wildlife species across Sabah, combining scientific analysis with valuable field-based knowledge and experience.

Through presentations, group discussions and feedback sessions, participants helped identify areas for improvement and strengthen the models that will contribute to conservation planning efforts in Sabah. The resulting spatial information will serve as one of several inputs to discussions on Priority Conservation Areas, Environmentally Sensitive Areas and the future review of the Sabah Structure Plan.

Bringing together science, field experience and local knowledge remains essential to effective conservation planning. The valuable feedback shared during the workshop will help refine the models and strengthen their contribution to future conservation and land-use planning decisions in Sabah. We look forward to sharing more insights from the workshop soon.

WWF-Malaysia was pleased to once again support the JC3 Journey to Zero Conference 2026, held on 28–29 September as part of our ongoing engagement with the Joint Committee on Climate Change (JC3).

On Day 2 of the conference, WWF-Malaysia contributed to discussions on advancing nature-related action through two sessions:

🌿 Nature on the Balance Sheet – WWF-Malaysia Trustee Mr. Martin explored a fundamental question: how do we recognise nature when it is not yet treated as an asset on the balance sheet? He also highlighted emerging legal approaches recognising nature as a person.

🌿 From TNFD to Action – WWF-Malaysia’s Sustainable Finance Senior Manager Ms. Rajaghantham co-presented a masterclass on moving from nature-related assessment towards transition planning and practical action, drawing on tools such as WWF’s Biodiversity Risk Filter.

The masterclass drew on insights from WWF-Malaysia’s Nature Means Business Report.
