Jumbo effort for rangers herding elephants back into the Sabah wild


Far from home: Some of the elephants that were seen near the plantation near Ulu Segama in Lahad Datu.

KOTA KINABALU: Efforts are underway to drive back a herd of about 40 Borneo pygmy elephants into a forest reserve after they encroached into a plantation in Sabah’s east coast Ulu Segama area.

A six-member team of rangers have moved them back into the forests to ensure the jumbos were not hurt and also to minimise any damage to the plantation.
