Poachers aren't only problem faced by Sabah's jumbos, say conservationists


KOTA KINABALU: It isn't enough for Sabah to just step up enforcement but the state must also take a hard look at development projects to avoid any further human-elephant conflict, say conservationists.

Two prominent Kinabatangan based conservationists – Danau Girang Field Centre director Dr Benoit Goossens and Hutan director Dr Marc Acreanaz – believe that apart from firm action against poachers, there must be steps to avoid and ensure no further development aggravates the current human-elephant conflict areas.
