Islands have been ideal places for unique species to evolve. They are also places of concentrated extinction, because these species are limited to the island or a particular part of the island and have low population numbers. Natural factors such as disease, fire, storms and normal population fluctuations contribute to the extinction of species. However, wildlife extinction is compounded by human involvement, with deforestation caused by rapid development being a key contributor. Deforestation is also the second leading cause of global warming that is linked to extreme weather fluctuations and flooding, of which there have been an increase in Langkawi. The Wildlife For The Future programme aims to protect and restore the natural heritage of the island using a holistic approach and responsible management.
