This is a poignant picture of a rare asiatic Borneo pygmy elephant calf nudging its' dead mother, who believed to poisoned along with the 13 other dead elephants found in the Malaysian's state of Sabah (Northeastern Borneo)
This distinctive asiatic sub-species pygmy elephant is recognised in 2003 and is only found in the north-east of Borneo with the majority of concentration in the Malaysian state of Sabah. It is estimated that the wild population stands between 1,500 to 2,000.
Calling and urging the authorities and government to launch full investigations into the dead elephants and the cause of death without fear or favour. Government must act to protect the national treasure and asset by allocating more fund, investing in expertise, supporting research, development policies, gazzets national forests and eventually laws and enforcement.
If the government can spend RM30 Million on the initial setting up a giant panda enclosure to house a pair of giant pandas loaned from China for 10 years. The government should no longer wait for further action to protect its national treasure of flora and fauna.
