Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta is our ongoing tourism-themed series on Earth Matters, which aims to highlight lesser-known ecotourism spots right here in Malaysia. Through the series, we want to take you back to the great outdoors, and experience the many off-the-beaten-track nature spots our country has to offer. A conservation expedition rather than an ecotourism adventure, the Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT) Walk programme by the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT) allows members of the public to help protect wild tigers and their habitat by reporting illegal activities and disarming snares and traps. These walks are designed as anti-poaching, anti-deforestation guided walks by volunteers and locals at poaching hotspots around Taman Negara, Malaysia’s largest national park. We find out more from Muna Noor, Conservation Officer, Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT).
