Description:
Enhancing Integrity Project [EIP] Group 2 Programme is the basic integrity of wildlife sustainability. The project Enhancing Integrity Project [EIP] was held at Kampung Lukut, the Kota Tinggi District, located about 10 km away from the Hutan Simpan Panti . The 120-hectare forest reserve under the supervision of Johor State Forestry Department is a habitat of diverse wildlife, particularly elephants.Among the issues that arise in this area are the disruption of wildlife, especially elephants to the village as well as the risks of this wildlife destruction. The elephants were found to invade the agricultural area which resulted in the source of income of the affected population which resulted in the poisoning of the animal.This situation has created conflict and ecosystem imbalances between animals and humans.
