Run Wild for a Cause: Join WWF-Malaysia and Maybank’s 'Run For Tigers' on Global Tiger Day 2024
19 June 2024, Kuala Lumpur - In celebration of Global Tiger Day 2024, WWF-Malaysia and Maybank are excited to announce 'Run For Tigers', a 3.5 km Fun Run event aimed at raising awareness and funds for the conservation of the critically endangered Malayan tiger.
The event will take place on Sunday, 21 July 2024, at Kepong Metropolitan Park, Kuala Lumpur from 6:30 am to 9:30 am. 'Run For Tigers 2024' is set to be a fun family day event, with activities for all ages. Runners can also showcase their creativity in the "Run with Your Costume On" contest for a chance to win a cash prize worth RM250.
With fewer than 150 Malayan tigers left in the wild, this event is crucial not only for raising awareness but also for keeping our national icon at the forefront of public consciousness.
“Tiger conservation is not just about saving one species; it's about maintaining the rich biodiversity of our forests and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. The survival of the Malayan tiger reflects the well-being of our natural environment. We are grateful for the continuous support from our partners and the public in these efforts,” said Sophia Lim, CEO and Executive Director of WWF-Malaysia.
This year, WWF-Malaysia and Maybank entered its third phase of the partnership with a focus on protecting tigers and monitoring its populations, increasing prey availability, empowering local communities and supporting effective Conservation Assured Tiger Standards (CA|TS) management. The renewal further underscores both organisations’ continued determination to secure a future where tigers thrive in the wild.
"The collaborative efforts of Maybank and WWF-Malaysia have led to the deployment of over 100 rangers across more than 70,000 km of dense forest, providing essential on-the-ground protection for these endangered big cats. This initiative exemplifies our shared commitment to fostering positive change through sustainable practices and impactful social investment. Together, we are dedicated to conserving the Malayan tiger and ensuring a sustainable future for all,” said Izlyn Ramli, Head of Group Corporate Affairs at Maybank and CEO of Maybank Foundation.
Since 2016, WWF-Malaysia and Maybank have collaborated through the 'Strengthening Tiger Conservation in the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex' programme, achieving significant progress. Notably, 238 active snares have been deactivated, with zero active snares maintained since 2022. Additionally, intensive training for Orang Asli rangers has greatly enhanced their patrolling and wildlife protection skills. In 2023, Royal Belum State Park became the first site in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to receive CA|TS accreditation, recognising its exceptional tiger conservation efforts.
Your support helps to make a positive impact. Register for the Run For Tigers 2024 and be a part of a movement to save the Malayan tigers. RM10 from each registration fee will be channelled to WWF-Malaysia’s tiger conservation efforts. For more information, click here

Berlari Demi Alam: Sertai 'Run for Tigers' Bersama
WWF-Malaysia dan Maybank pada Hari Harimau Sedunia 2024
19 Jun 2024, Kuala Lumpur - Sempena Hari Harimau Sedunia 2024, WWF-Malaysia dan Maybank dengan sukacitanya mengumumkan acara 'Run For Tigers', satu acara larian santai sejauh 3.5 km yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesedaran dan dana bagi pemuliharaan harimau Malaya yang sangat terancam.
Acara ini akan berlangsung pada hari Ahad, 21 Julai 2024, di Taman Metropolitan Kepong, Kuala Lumpur dari jam 6:30 pagi hingga 9:30 pagi. ‘Run For Tigers 2024' dijangka menjadi acara keluarga yang menyeronokkan, dengan pelbagai aktiviti untuk semua peringkat umur. Peserta larian juga boleh menunjukkan kreativiti mereka dalam pertandingan "Larian Berkostum" untuk peluang memenangi hadiah wang tunai sebanyak RM250.
Dengan kurang daripada 150 ekor harimau Malaya yang tinggal di hutan, acara ini adalah penting bukan sahaja untuk meningkatkan kesedaran tetapi juga untuk memastikan ikon negara kita ini kekal dalam ingatan masyarakat umum.
“Pemuliharaan harimau bukan sekadar menyelamatkan satu spesies; ia mengenai mengekalkan biodiversiti hutan kita dan memastikan kesihatan ekosistem kita. Kelangsungan hidup harimau Malaya mencerminkan kesejahteraan alam sekitar kita. Kami amat berterima kasih atas sokongan berterusan daripada rakan kongsi dan orang ramai dalam usaha ini,” kata Sophia Lim, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif dan Pengarah Eksekutif WWF-Malaysia.
Tahun ini, WWF-Malaysia dan Maybank memasuki fasa ketiga perkongsian mereka dengan tumpuan pada melindungi harimau dan memantau populasinya, meningkatkan ketersediaan mangsa, memperkasakan komuniti tempatan dan menyokong pengurusan Conservation Assured Tiger Standards (CA|TS) yang berkesan. Pembaharuan ini menekankan tekad kedua-dua organisasi untuk memastikan masa depan di mana harimau dapat hidup bebas di alam liar.
"Usaha kolaboratif antara Maybank dan WWF-Malaysia telah membawa kepada penyebaran lebih 100 renjer di lebih 70,000 km hutan tebal, memberikan perlindungan penting di lapangan untuk kucing besar yang terancam ini. Inisiatif ini mencontohi komitmen bersama kami untuk memupuk perubahan positif melalui amalan mampan dan pelaburan sosial yang berimpak. Bersama-sama, kami berdedikasi untuk memulihara harimau Malaya dan memastikan masa depan yang mampan untuk semua,” kata Izlyn Ramli, Ketua Kumpulan Hal Ehwal Korporat di Maybank dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Yayasan Maybank.
Sejak 2016, WWF-Malaysia dan Maybank telah bekerjasama melalui program 'Mengukuhkan Pemuliharaan Harimau di Kompleks Hutan Belum-Temengor', mencapai kemajuan yang signifikan. Antaranya, 238 jerat aktif telah dinyahaktifkan, dengan tiada jerat aktif dikekalkan sejak 2022. Selain itu, latihan intensif untuk renjer Orang Asli telah meningkatkan kemahiran rondaan dan perlindungan hidupan liar mereka. Pada tahun 2023, Taman Negeri Royal Belum menjadi tapak pertama di Malaysia dan Asia Tenggara yang menerima akreditasi CA|TS, mengiktiraf usaha pemuliharaan harimau yang cemerlang.
