    According to the 2007 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, life on Earth is disappearing fast and will continue to do so unless urgent action is taken.

    ● 14% of Malaysia’s mammals are listed by The World Conservation Union (IUCN) as endangered.

    ● 30 species of turtle ever discovered, only 7 are left.

    ● Less than 1,500 Borneo Pygmy elephants are found in the world.

    ● It is estimated that there are less than 20 Sumatran rhinoceros left in Borneo.

    ● The Bornean species of orangutan is highly endangered, and the Sumatran species is critically endangered, according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, and both are listed on Appendix I of CITES.
