ELEPHANTS are no match for poachers. The macabre butchering of two Borneo pygmy elephants shows that poachers abound in almost every corner of the country waiting to strike when least expected.

In the past, pygmy elephants were the victims of poisoning, reportedly by oil palm plantation workers to deter elephants from eating the fruit of the palm trees. Last September, a group of elephants were stuck in a mud pool in Rinukut for a week leaving seven dead.
