Save Sumatran Rhinos with Honda

Honda is holding a “Save the Rhino’s Home” contest to educate the young and to increase awareness on environmental conservation efforts and the plight of Sumatran rhinoceros.

The Sumatran rhinoceros is one of the world’s most endangered species with few left on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, Sabah and peninsular Malaysia. According to Malaysian wildlife officials, only 30 Sumatran rhinos can be found in Sabah.

The contest, which offers prizes worth RM5,000, runs from now to July 31, and is open to primary school students.

The contest comprises three sections which asks participants to:

» unscramble words that relate to deforestation;

» find a path through a maze to lead an illustrated rhino “home”, and,

» suggest environmental conservation efforts that can be practiced at home, school and public areas.

The first prize is a HP Mini 1000, second prize a Sony Cyber-shot DSC T90 while the third prize is a Sony PSP. There are also 10 consolation prizes of RM100 Toys ‘R’ Us vouchers to be won.

Participants are encouraged to submit more than one entry. Photocopies of the form are also accepted.

You can download the form at Honda’s website www.honda.com.my/rhino, or get it from authorised Honda dealers. Mail it to “Save the Rhino’s Home Contest”, PO Box 8260, Pejabat Pos Kelana Jaya, 46785 Petaling Jaya.
