WANTED: VOLUNTEERS FOR MYCAT OUTREACH PROGRAMME

A planet complete with tigers and me

Your planet can only be complete with tigers if you fight to make sure they stay!

After successfully wrapping up programmes in Sungai Yu and Gua Musang earlier this year, MYCAT will now be bringing the programme to Gerik, Perak. If you missed the previous opportunities, here is your chance to join us in saving tigers in the Year of the Tiger! Gerik is a poaching and trade hotspot, and therefore this programme is a preventive effort where we will be conducting school and community outreach programmes towards reducing the poaching and trade of tigers and their prey.

We need a team of volunteers who can either speak fluent Malay or fluent Mandarin (as one of the school programmes is at a local Chinese primary school), or both. The need to be fluent in local languages in a community programme is important to effectively convey our message.

All volunteers will be trained to enable effective execution of the programme, so don’t worry if you have no experience. All you need is a desire to help secure the tiger’s future.

The tentative programme is as below:

Date	Location	Time	Activity

*We leave KL on the 18^th morning, and leave to return to KL on the 21^st. The return time is to be confirmed, we may arrive back in KL possibly in the evening, or even at night.

Meals and accommodation will be provided. If anyone is willing to drive, we could car pool together and MYCAT will cover the petrol and toll expenses. You will also receive a certificate of participation for your efforts.

If you can join us on this programme, please email may@malayantiger. net by the 6th of August.

The MYCAT Outreach Programme, also known as the “Harimau Untuk Selamanya”, is a part of our campaign to reduce local trade and consumption of wildlife. The programme has been targeting hotspot areas since 2007; you may learn more about the past programmes here:
