SMUGGLING OF WILD ANIMAL

There have been recently several cases in years of wildlife seizures in Thailand that involved animals caught from Malaysian forests. According to the US State Department, animals were the third highest illegal product smuggled, after drugs and weapons. The most popular animals were tortoises, tigers, bears, orangutans, and bird’s .A raising a number for wildlife and its increasing use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are fueling an increase in the illegal export of endangered animals. The box turtle is decreasing across Malaysia because of increased illegal hunting for its meat and use in traditional Chinese medicine. Since the ban, export of turtles for the pet trade in Japan, Europe and the United States ceased, but TRAFFIC found increasing evidence of smuggling illegal animal, mainly to Hong Kong, China and to a lesser extent Singapore. To meet demand, animals are being taken from the wild at an unsustainable rate, which has to be addressed or they will disappear from the Malaysian countryside.

There exists a variety of ways to present information visually, like gestures, body languages, video and TV. Here, focus is on the presentation of text, pictures, diagrams, photos, integrated on a computer display. The term visual presentation is used to refer to the actual presentation of information. Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically oriented usability.Graphic designers use methods of visual communication in their professional practice.

Life Expectancy At Birth

Birth Rate:

This entry gives the average annual the number of births during a year per 1000 persons in the population at midyear; also know as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.

Malaysia - Birth Rate (Birth/1000 population)

• 2000-25.3



• 2001-24.75

Factors Affecting Birth Rate:

First Natalism -Is a belief that promotes human reproduction. Pronatalism-promoting child-bearing.Antinatalism-negative thinking of birth.Secoundly Family Planing-Planing when to have children and the use of birth control. Usually female-male couple wish to limit the number of children they have or to control the taming of pregnancy ( known as 'spacing children').Thirdly is Female Literacy Level.The ability to use language to read and write. So they have their own carrier and they are not depend on man and not concentrating on their family.Fourthly is In fact Mortality.The number of deaths of in facts. It has become the most common cause in infant mortality.Reason - dehydration from diarrhea.Fifth is Urbanization .Place where money,service and wealth are centralized. Physical growth of urban area from rural areas. As the result,more people are going for entertainment than to have family.Sixth is Age Of Marriage .For Malaysia the age of marriage is 21.18 with parental consent, 16 for female with special marriage license.Female usually had a late marriage. Thus, its affecting the birth rate.People use to focus on their carrier.Seventh is Conflict.Can be internal (within oneself) or external (between 2 or more individuals).Conflict is actual/perceived opposition of needs,values and interests.Our Prediction is the decreasing birth rate will continues. Caused by the factors. As Conclusion government and all individuals in Malaysia should be responsible to stabilize the population especially the birth rate.
