Terms & Conditions

Cost

All costs incurred for CAT trips such as fuel and food will be borne by the participating individuals.

Insurance

Although participants are covered by basic group accident insurance with a total coverage of up to RM25,000 per person, it is advisable to have personal medical/hospitalisation insurance.

Copyright

Participants license MYCAT to use any information collected during the CAT programme and submitted to MYCAT, including but not limited to photographs and reports to the Wildlife Crime Hotline, for any purposes deemed fit for its conservation objectives. Copyright of the materials submitted belongs to the original owner. Any tiger scat collected must be surrendered to MYCAT.

Confidentiality

MYCAT is legally subject to the terms and conditions of a Non-Disclosure Agreement signed with Pahang Biodiversity Council. Hence, MYCAT requires all CAT programme participants to strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of the NDA, and other agencies including Perhilitan, Jabatan Perhutanan and MYCAT. All details of illegal activities and endangered wildlife especially tiger, sambar, gaur, serow and pangolin detected by CAT participants must remain confidential between the participants and the MYCAT Secretariat’s Office.

Information, which includes photographs, locations, descriptions etc., cannot be disseminated to the public via weblogs, social media, YouTube or any other channels (instant messaging apps, electronic media, print media, television, etc.) as divulging this to other parties may jeopardise the safety of wildlife and MYCAT’s ability to conduct its work in the Sungai Yu Ecological Corridor. Any records on wildlife or biological findings observed during the programme are not to be published for any purpose. Content created for publications that reach out to a wider audience (e.g. in newspapers, magazines, newsletters, online media, corporate weblogs, etc.) must be submitted to MYCAT for fact checking prior to publication.


Participants may use other information collected during the trip (e.g. other photographs of animal signs, birds, scenic spots, etc.) for personal use. In cases where there is doubt, participants should check with the MYCAT Secretariat’s Office.
Note: Due to technical and legal issues, the Wildlife Conservation Society-Malaysia Programme is not part of this MYCAT initiative. Hence this project is a joint effort between the Malaysian Nature Society, TRAFFIC Southeast Asia, Wildlife Society of Selangor, WWF-Malaysia and MYCAT Secretariat’s Office.
I declare that the above information is complete and accurate and that I am a responsible adult over 18 years old. I hereby agree to the above release and agree to abide by the terms of this waiver, for any and every trip that I may participate in under the CAT programme.
