What's a CAT Walk Plus?

Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT) Walk Plus is a unique citizen conservation program that empowers the public to get directly involved in protecting the Malayan Tiger and many other threatened wildlife that share the same habitat. By participating in a CAT walk, you make a positive impact on the continued survival of the Malayan Tiger. Walk the Sungai Yu Ecological Corridor to deter potential illegal activities like poaching and illegal mining just by your presence. Look for wildlife signs like Malayan sun bear tracks and listen out for white-handed gibbon calls from the forest canopy. Help check and maintain trail cameras installed by MYCAT to monitor abundance of wildlife!

This and more when you join CAT Walk Plus!

Volunteers will enjoy a guided hike through the forest while assisting the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT) and the local authorities look for signs of illegal activity, deactivate snares and traps, spot animal signs and help to set up and check camera traps.

Some of the other amazing wildlife that share the forest with the Malayan Tiger are the Leopard, Clouded Leopard, Dhole, Sunbear, Elephant, Tapir, Sambar, Gaur, Pangolin. You might spot signs of these animals from the claw marks, animal tracks, droppings and signs of foraging.

 Where we walk

Located 15km south of Taman Negara, Sungai Relau, Sungai Yu Tiger Corridor is the last linkage connecting the two largest forested landscapes in Peninsular Malaysia - Taman Negara National Park and the Main Range.

The new highway was elevated so that wildlife could cross underneath, but the construction severely damaged the habitat.

By engaging local communities and global citizens, SWAG together with MYCAT looks to restore the forest and protect the area from poaching and encroachment.

This is why we need you!
