The three-day program delved into critical topics such as wildlife management, the responsibilities and authority of Wildlife Wardens, wildlife-related offenses, penalties, and relevant policies under the Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997. Participants engaged in discussions and practical training, learning how to handle case goods, conduct arrests, and compile police reports. The final day included group exercises that simulated real-life scenarios faced by SWD, allowing participants to apply their knowledge in a practical setting.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Sabah Wildlife Department for facilitating this important training. We believe that this program will serve as a significant eye-opener for participants, enhancing their understanding of the wildlife’s vital role towards biodiversity conservation in our ecosystem. Through this initiative, we hope to foster a deeper commitment to preserving Sabah’s rich natural heritage.
