I’ve such a heavy heart after hearing what happened in the Borneo. Born and raised in the East, wildlife and nature has always been so close to me and the death of our country last Sumatran rhino- Iman is a desperate wake up call for all💢

Driving a species to extinction to possess their horns for medical uses or plantation which affects their habitats is pure selfish and short-sighted.

As we mourn the death of Iman, we must bear in mind that more Malaysian animals are going to be extinct if no drastic steps are taken to address issues affecting our wildlife, including killing and poaching, which are at a very critical level.

Together with WWF-Malaysia , I pledge to stop wildlife crime and commit to preserve a healthy forest and ecosystem for the most endangered wildlife in Malaysia🌳🐅🦍🦏(link via my story to donate)

'We'll always remember her as a fighter.'

Today is one of the saddest days we've ever faced. As of this morning, Puntung’s suffering has come to an end.

She was euthanized just past dawn, ending her battle against squamous cell cancer.

It was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, but euthanasia had become the only defensible option. Chemotherapy, radiation treatment and excision surgery might seem possible. But for us, her welfare was the most critical element. Any of those treatments would bring further distress to Puntung because they would cause her further pain and, at best, give her a few more months of life. Sumatran rhinos wallow in mud for at least six hours daily and become increasingly stressed if kept in clean, closed facilities. A stress-free life for Puntung was simply not going to be possible. And so we made the very difficult choice of ending her suffering and giving her peace.

We’ll always remember her as a fighter. She survived a poacher’s attempt as a calf, when her foot was cut off. But she refused to give up and went on to survive in the forests. She then became pregnant in the wild, but tragically lost her baby. The complications of that pregnancy resulted in her having cysts in her uterus, but still she fought on... till the very end.

And that’s how we will honour her. By embracing her tenacity for life. We at BORA will not give up the fight to save the critically endangered Sumatran Rhino.

There are now only two left in Malaysia, and less than 100 in Indonesia. Puntung’s passing is the third captive Sumatran rhino death in the past 3.5 years. In this time, there has only been one birth in captivity. And with wild populations continuing to face risks, the number of deaths could dangerously continue to outpace the number of births.

This is the great tragedy that’s at our doorstep. One that we must fight. But we can’t do this alone. Humanity needs to come together, now more than ever. What we do today will define the very existence of an entire species. It will define who we are as people, a species who have the power to save the rest of life that we share this world with.

And just like Puntung, we at BORA will not give up.

Be at peace, Puntung.

Speedy recovery Puntung! ❤️️

Puntung Update:

Today, we breathe a huge sigh of relief after successful surgery on Puntung, one of only two female Sumatran rhinos still alive in Malaysia.

Two molar teeth and one premolar from Puntung's left upper jaw were successfully extracted during an operation that in total lasted two hours and twenty minutes this morning. Severe calcificativets were found on one large molar, which is where bacteria initially accumulated and led to the abscess. The calcification had also loosened two adjacent teeth.

She's now missing three teeth, but the most important thing, is that Puntung is ok. And we are overjoyed that she finally received the treatment that she needed and is now on the road to recovery.

All of us at BORA, are extremely grateful to everyone involved in this operation. Dr Johan Marais and Dr Zoe Glyphis from Saving The Survivors - NPC, Dr Abraham Matthew from the Singapore Zoo, Dr Tum Chinkangsadarn from Bangkok animal dental services, Dr Zainal Zainuddin from Borneo Rhino Alliance, and vets and officials from Sabah Wildlife Department as well as Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia. Your efforts have given Puntung a new lease of life.

We want to sincerely thank each of you as well. Your kind donations, spreading of awareness, and words of support, have encouraged us and helped us to save one of the world's most critically endangered animals.

Now comes a period of post operation care which will mean trying to keep Puntung clean, stress-free and under medication.

But being the trooper that she is, we believe Puntung will soon be back on her feet and ready to enjoy herself in her mud wallow. In the mean time, we'll cater to her appetite, which she still has in abundance. Here's the beautiful Puntung enjoying her lunch within two hours of the operation.

It's a good day.
