Clampdown on poachers in Sabah forests

KOTA KINABALU: Forestry and Wildlife officials are on the hunt for poachers in forest reserves along Sabah’s east coast, where there has been a recent spike in encroachments.

Sabah Forestry director Datuk Sam Mannan said illegal hunters were making a beeline for forest reserves where wildlife such as wild boar, payau and deer thrive.
