Milky Storks Conservation in Kuala Gula

Good effort by the government (PERHILITAN) to conserve Milky Storks in Kuala Gula. Milky Storks from Zoo Negara were released in Kuala Gula. Early stage of release programme in 2007 was failed and after three year PERHILITAN keep release into wild environment and now twelves birds are flying in Kuala Gula after strong public support. Public support need to be continued because the birds like to forage in the human habitat and not in the wild mangrove forest nearby. Perhaps PERHILITAN need another approach including continuous campaign among the locals. As usual UPM can help.
