Mohd Tajuddin Abdullah is a professor at the School of Marine and Environmental Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. He received his PhD in zoology from the University of Queensland, Australia; MSc and BSc from the West Virginia University, USA, and Diploma in Forestry from the Institut Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. He was elected and inducted as a Fellow in the Academy of Science Malaysia on the 8 June 2013; and DIMP from the Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang. His research discipline is in biology with specialisation in zoology, molecular ecology, biodiversity and protected area management. In 1970s to 1990s he studied on the endangered Sumatran rhinos. In late 1990s he studied in Borneo on the wildlife diversity, distribution, population, ecology, and species conservation and their natural habitats. From 2000 to 2014 he used molecular methods to study on the ecology, biogeography and evolution of mammals in Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia. From 2011 he received grants tostudy on zoonoses, genome and metagenomic of primates. From 2014 onwards he worked in the Greater Kenyir, on the canopy wildlife distribution patterns in the dipterocarp forest, wetlands and islands on the east coast of Malaysia.
