While the good folks at the Melaka Butterfly And Reptile Sanctuary do their best to save butterflies, reptiles, etc. the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a major challenge. As the lives of all of the butterflies, insects, reptiles, etc. at Melaka Butterfly And Reptile Sanctuary rely on visitors purchasing tickets, sales of souvenirs, and adoption programs; the pandemic has caused major financial issues. With no visitors, no sales in the souvenir shops, etc., funds are running low.
Help Needed
Recently their laboratories were incapacitated as staffs had to stay home during the “lockdown” (Movement Control Order or MCO), butterfly eggs were left uncontrolled, host plants were dying, and some 30,000 butterfly larvae had to be euthanized. This is indeed a sad, sad situation. To help swim in this dire situation, the Melaka Butterfly And Reptile Sanctuary is reaching out for help by asking kind hearted folks to adopt butterflies, various reptiles, birds, or to donate to the sanctuary.
