Curator Maryati Abdullah Lakim said yesterday that the “Baby Elephant Naming Campaign” will run until August 8.
Members of the public have been invited to name the three Bornean elephant calves born at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. Curator Maryati Abdullah Lakim said yesterday that the “Baby Elephant Naming Campaign” will run until August 8.
She said suggestions can be made via the park’s Facebook page — Taman Hidupan Liar Lok Kawi “Official Page” — and the three winning names will be announced a week after the campaign ends.
Maryati said the campaign is being held in connection with World Elephant Day 2023 on August 12, themed “Protecting elephant habitats for a sustainable tomorrow”.
“We have three Bornean elephant calves, two of which were born this year and one at the end of last. We are urging the public to suggest names for them because none of them have been given any,” she said.
She asserted that involving the public would foster a sense of attachment and raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding Sabah’s wildlife.
The park also hopes that by sharing various educational activities, conservation initiatives, and awareness videos, this campaign will encourage more people to continue to like, share, and follow Lok Kawi Wildlife Park’s Facebook page.
