A deeper look into human-otter conflict and how we can coexist with them. From safety risks to both humans and otters to how we can peacefully coexist together with otters. All covered in this post.

We are coming up with an exciting event soon. Keep an eye out for that.

More Wild Otters 🦦 are being spotted across the Klang Valley, but are we ready to coexist with them?

Recent social media sightings have sparked excitement, but they also remind us that wildlife is increasingly sharing our urban spaces. While ANP's work began with mitigating human–macaque conflict, our mission has always been bigger: promoting human–wildlife coexistence.

As cities grow and green spaces become more connected, encounters with different wildlife species, including otters, are likely to become more common. Understanding their behaviour and knowing how to respond responsibly is key to preventing future conflict.

Coexistence starts with awareness. Stay curious, stay respectful, and give wildlife the space they need.

Follow us and join our mission to create a future where people and wildlife coexist.

The power of words in changing perspectives. Part 1.

If you have wondered how we can change our perspectives on wildlife, here is how you can do it. Change the word you use to describe them. These small changes is what causes a big shift in perspective on wildlife such as our macaques who often labeled as pests or nuisance animals.

Let's see them with empathy and change our view on them. Look out for part 2!

Today we celebrate International Macaque Week!

ANP combined hands with group of students to spread the message on our macaques and advocate for human-wildlife coexistence.

As part of their MPU module that focuses on sustainability they assisted ANP in educating our booth visitors and helped ANP raise fund that will support our conservation efforts on urban wildlife, especially the Long-tailed macaques.

We are grateful for all the student volunteers who assisted us and made our day fun! Thank you to for giving us the opportunity to be at Monash and gave us full support physically and emotionally.

We meet again soon! Also, have a look what our camera trap caught at Monash University!

We were honoured to be part of the launch of Cherish the Nature, a mangrove restoration initiative along the North Central Selangor Coast, co-implemented by IUCN Asia and the with support from .malaysia

During the three-day event at Kuala Selangor Nature Park, our team conducted an awareness booth highlighting the importance of Long-tailed macaques, a key species within mangrove ecosystems. Healthy mangroves do not only protect shorelines and support marine biodiversity, but also provide critical habitat for wildlife that depends on these interconnected landscapes.

It was inspiring to witness members of the public participating in biodiversity assessments and mangrove planting, demonstrating how community-led conservation strengthens climate resilience and safeguards our natural heritage.

Our sincere thanks to , Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), , Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Selangor, , , , , , (Explocave Merapoh) and all partner organisations and volunteers who made this meaningful initiative possible.

Everyone asks where is the macaque, but no one asks how is the macaque?

Our furry neighbours are no stranger to urban parks, we see them often but do we understand them?
