MPIC to Step Up Conservation Efforts in Minimizing Wildlife-human Conflict and to Ensure a More Sustainable Plantation Industry that Strikes a Delicate Balance between Environmental and Commercial Considerations

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 (Bernama) — The recent death of an oil palm plantation worker trampled by a wild elephant in Temerloh was a tragic incident. MPIC wishes to extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family.

Over the years, MPIC, through various agencies like the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation (MPOGCF), has undertaken various measures to ensure sustainable growth for the industry. This includes setting up the Borneo Elephant Wildlife Sanctuary to address human-elephant conflict and create a controlled public access sanctuary to better understand and care for these animals.
