Book excerpt: Peninsular Malaysia is undergoing a tremendous economic and land development which results in the tropical rain forest environment being changed drastically. Since the extinction rate of many wildlife species in Malaysia is high, emphasis should be given to save and conserve these species in order to reduce their tragic extinction. At present, although laws appear satisfactory to curb losses from poaching and trade in wildlife, the effects of habitat loss habe proved to be more disastrous than any other known cause of mortality in the past. The approach to the problem has changed from an emphasis on law enforcement to a combination of natural resource planning which includes plans of other development agencies, research and management, extension programs, and the establishment of national park and wildlife reserves. The research and management techniques of wild life include habitat manipulation and improvement, stocking and captive breeding.
