KOTA KINABALU: The merciless killing of a Bornean pygmy is a clear signal for everyone to buck up or Sabah's elephants could be staring at extinction before the decade is over, a conservationist warns.
Describing the deaths of three elephants within three weeks of the new year as alarming, conservationist Alexander Yee said that real action needed to be taken as talk of conservation plans had failed to resolve the key problem of elephant deaths.
