Rayner, our Dive Master at Pom Pom Island Resort, has been officially recognized after passing his exam earlier, as a Wildlife Warden.  This gives him the power of arrest and he is able to make reports of harm to wildlife to the authorities.  In conjunction with WWF, the Sabah Wildlife Department arranged a special presentation for all the successful candidates, then the following day, they all came to Pom Pom to see our hatchery and have lunch.

Well done to Rayner and all the other candidates for passing their exams, its great to see the WWF and Sabah Wildlife Department, plus Dive Operators and Resorts all working together to make a difference.
