00:00Coral reefs are actually the habitats for
00:29industrial grounds for fishes, right, so it's actually a very important source of our food
00:33security in the future. If there's no more coral reefs, we might get less fish stock.
00:42We empower blind and visually impaired persons to learn technology because we believe technology
00:49can be a tool to enhance education, employment, and the day-to-day life for blind people.
00:59Welcome to Malaysian Foundation for the Blind.
01:03Because of my career, I have witnessed so much surplus food from restaurants to hotels to
01:09manufacturers being discarded and embarking on charitable work. You can actually experience
01:15instant gratitude. That motivates us to do more.
01:19What we wanted to do was to put anti-poaching efforts in the jungle
01:29to basically help the government in the efforts to save the Malayan tiger.
01:33What would it say about us as Malaysians if we lost the animal that sits on our national crest?
01:38Where we're standing right now, this is all the trees that have been planted since 2018.
01:49Pygmy elephant, sun bear, orangutan are coming back in this area.
01:59They did not bring this upon themselves. It's not that they asked to be born with a rare condition.
02:05So if we are not giving them the appropriate treatment which they need to live,
02:09then we have not been doing our duties as doctors.
02:19The following years, we started to see the number of snares we found
02:22decrease dramatically. So it showed the success of the projects, how the collaborations with
02:27the Orang Asli really bring a positive impact to reduce poaching in this landscape.
02:35We collect river terrapin eggs from nesting banks so that we can safely incubate the eggs.
02:44And when these hatchlings emerge, we raise them for a few months
02:49before we release them into the Kemaman River.
02:57Because of their population, we travel far into the forest installing camera traps,
03:04also we do madness count survey for orangutans.
03:14Our purpose in life is to be of service to the public.
03:18When the dogs go to search, they very much work on their own.
03:23So that bond between handler and dog is very important.
