KALABAKAN, June 22 — Fifty to 60 elephants reported dead in the last 10 years in Sabah were due to poisoning, said Sabah Wildlife Department deputy director Dr Sen Nathan. According to Dr Sen Nathan, the department is cooperating with the National Poison Centre in the research and investigation of elephant poisoning in Sabah which has led to the death of the protected animal.
However, the issue of elephant poisoning in the area is not a concern as most farms have adopted a farming system that can protect the animals.He said the department would conduct a field study starting August this year to obtain a complete data on elephant population in the state through funds from the Malaysian Palm Oil Council.
