A visit to Tanjong Sepat and Morib recently unearthed an ugly discovery. Visitors to this region of Selangor, Malaysia know that the main attraction here is agricultural tourism. Plantations and farms abound with dragonfruit, longan (mata-kuching), durian, mushroom, and all kinds of tubers for the keropok (crisps) industry.
So my family and I visited the longan farm. It was closed but the perimeter of the farm was draped with fine fishing net to keep birds out. Just look at this beautiful bee-eater that we managed to save from a long, arduous death.
Isn't our wildlife in peril enough without these farms further decimating what precious little is left?
