Coconut crab project (part 3)

Here comes part 3 =p


Team that excitedly showing their 03 CC! Mamat, Mohd Amin, Nic, Madzlan, Ateng, Mohd Khamis & photograher (Ambo)
05 CC found by us! Mumi, Ezwan, M. Amin, Aldon & lia
Finally, brave lia finally have the courage to hold the mighty coconut crab!! huhu!!

The journey of coconut searching continues till 24th march with total finding of 13 coconut crab, 4 release in mataking kecil and 1 being send for specimen. We sacrifice our beloved coconut crab for good reason, though some ppl might not agree with it. It's for education purpose and so that all guest who came to Mataking will have the chance to at least see with their own eyes the magnificient creature and treasure it. Most of th people around the globe don't even have chance to see coconut crab with their own eyes until they came here... 

Habitat destruction (actually cause by human also) leaves impact to this animal. We try our best to preserve it, to make sure that people get educated on the impact of overconsumption of exotic species. 
Thank you for the dedicated team volunterary help in this research!
Last but not least, relocation program of coconut crab 

THE END
