KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's wildlife conservationists are geared up to ensure that no other species disappear following the extinction of the Sumatran rhinoceros in 2019.

Efforts are underway to ensure the Borneo pygmy elephants, banteng (wild buffalo) and pangolins, among others, continue to thrive in Sabah's wild through specific breeding programmes as well as prepare for scientific assisted reproduction in the future.
