KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife rangers are trying to push back several Bornean pygmy elephants which have been destroying crops for nearly a week at a village in Sabah's south-western Kalabakan area.
According to Tawau Wildlife Department officer Sailun Aris, rangers managed to monitor and push back the elephants at Kg Jagung to a neighbouring forest a few days ago.He said that they were currently carrying out a similar operation at the Felda Umas area where villagers complained about elephants destroying their crops.
Kg Jagung villagers said that two elephants were destroying oil palm crops in their area but were not an immediate threat to the people. "We are hoping that the Wildlife Department can act quickly and solve the problem," he said, adding that they did not want a recurrence of the situation in Sungai Udin, Tawau, where a bull elephant was shot dead by angry villagers.
