Why Whale on the beach? must be something wrong with them. We need to understand more about whales behaviour. Usually we know their problems after their death. Malaysia have no experts in whale(?).

May be thinking alone is not effective enough to solve solid waste problems. BUT without ideas people do not know what and how to do it. in fact no knowledge and awareness how to practice it. We have no more time for telling the story what had happened BUT now we have to react to avoid another story.

looking forward to see effective education activities for better products towards sustainability environment. This time we focus on Pulau Ketam. Very interesting and challenge society and environment.

Another serious discussion on the Trans Borneo, Trans Sumatera and our Highways crossing our Forest, how the infrastructures will disturb wildlife. Why this concern was initiated by James Cook University NOT our local universities???

With Representative from indonesia Prof jatna from UI.

after more than 2 years you can see the forest already. We can make quick forest for better environment. Plant more trees around us.

We really need to change the approach of teaching at the university levels especially in the research universities. Theories and applied must go along together. hands on activities attract more interest among the students. The benefit of the research grants are not just publication and buying equipments and chemicals BUT training post graduates and undergraduates.

The East Asia/Australasia Flyway extends from Arctic Russia and North America to the southern limits of Australia and New Zealand. It encompasses large parts of East Asia, all of Southeast Asia and includes eastern India and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The scale of avian movement along the flyway is awesome, with over 50 million migratory waterbirds, including 8 million waders, using the route annually. Flyway population estimates for migratory waders include 2.88 million Oriental Pratincole Glareola maldivarum and up to one million Marsh Sandpiper Tringa stagnatilis. Many waders travel all the way from their high arctic breeding grounds to spend the northern winter in the temperate latitudes of the southern hemisphere. For the Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica, this can entail an 11,000 km non-stop flight from Alaska to New Zealand. Some species, such as Rednecked Stint Calidris ruficollis and Spotted Greenshank Tringa guttifer (EN) also cross Bangladesh to spend the winter in eastern India.
