A Walk In Different Shoes
The reporter, Nazneen Ridzuan had interviewed her mother, Madame Rose Albakri to explore her mother’s point of view regarding dugong and its importance. Bellow is the interview that had been captured, exclusive just for you!
| Q | Did you know that people have mistreated the dugongs by hunting for their meat, oils, leather, bones and teeth? What do you say about this situation?
| A | Yes, I’ve heard that people, mostly in Thailand hunt dugongs for their features which provide benefits and profits to them. This is very upsetting, it is very inhumane. We should find the best alternatives to stop this problem before these creatures reach extinction. If this scenario goes on, the future generation will only know the existence of dugongs through stories and books.
| Q | In your opinion, what are the ways we can do to prevent the dugongs from extinction?
| A | I think the authority should enforce and implement laws to protect these delicate creatures. The government and the private companies should gain cooperation to protect these creatures as well as preserving their habitats. The experts should propose projects to protect these animals and its habitats. As a responsible society we should give full support to these projects by donating money and providing mental and physical support.
| Q | Why do you think we should protect the dugongs?
| A | I think we should protect these creatures from the crossing the bridge of extinction. If this situation goes on, it will disturb the food chains of the animals and at the same causing the population of animals to decrease. Dugong is a unique creature, some expert believed that dugongs are intelligent creatures. If we lose them, what do we have left to cherish?

Perspectives Broadening the Pathway
The reporter, Aqilah Mohsin had interviewed her Biology teacher, Madame Mastura to view her classmate’s perspectives regarding dugong and its importance. Bellow is the interview that had been captured, exclusive just for you!
| Q | Did you know that people have mistreated the dugongs by hunting for their meat, oils, leather, bones and teeth? What do you say about this situation?
| A | I think it is very cruel of us killing animals for their meat, oil and features at the fact that these animals are on the verge of extinction. I even thought these animals had extinct because of the legends of the mermaids. We should let them live in the same way as they are letting us living our lives. We should not disturb the life cycles and the food chains because in the end, it will affect ourselves. If we disturb the dynamic equilibrium of the animals and environment, the diverse species that are linked together could not provide environmental services to human and other species.
| Q | In your opinion what are the ways we can do to prevent the dugong from extinction?
| A |From my opinion, protection acts should be made and implemented. We should help these animals breed safely without being harmed by irresponsible individuals. When these animals are capable of breeding in a safe and conductive environment, I believe the population will increase because the diverse species are linked together. At the same time, more researches should be done to investigate this issue and the best alternatives.
| Q | Why do you think we should protect the dugongs?
| A | Like I said earlier, by protecting the dugongs we are able to uphold the dynamic equilibrium of diverse species, protect its life cycle as well as preventing the food chain from being broken. These species support the interaction among other species and their ecosystem for food, shelter and other basic needs. If this species disappear, the survival of other species will be affected as their survival depends on the dugongs. Take a basic example, if you untie a knot in the centre of a chain, automatically the chain is broken. Simple as that!

The reporter, Najwa Abdul Ghafar had interviewed her classmate, Nur Alia to track her classmate’s point of view regarding dugong and its importance. Bellow are the interview that had been captured, exclusive just for you!
| Q | Did you know that people have mistreated the dugongs by hunting for their meat,oils, leather, bones and teeth? What do you say about this situation?
| A | Yes, I’ve done some research on the dugongs and I’ve found out various information conforming the bad treatment that are given to these sweet, innocent creatures. Well, what can I say, human being are just inhumane. We tend to show our selfishness and lack of love and care. Most of the time, we think about ourselves more than anyone else... We must change that.
| Q | In your opinion what are the ways we can do to prevent the dugongs from extinction?
| A |The best way to protect the dugongs is by educating the society. We are the ones killing these innocent creatures. We are the one hunting and killing them for the sake of money. The government should make more campaigns not only to love the water, saying NO to smoking but also love and care for the animals. The laws should be implemented and all eyes should be open up wide!
| Q | Why do you think we should protect the dugongs?
| A | I think we should protect the dugongs because they are living things, just like us. We should put ourselves in their shoes. What do we feel when other people are cutting our air supply, leaving us to suffocate? They breathe the same air and live in the same world; we can’t simply kick them out of this world! Respect their rights! Respect their authority!
