‘Win-win solution needed to address conflict between elephant and human’


Chow: It is unfair to put the blame solely on elephants as they are important to our ecosystem just like any other wildlife living in the jungle.

ELEPHANTS have caused damage to some 4,000 oil palm trees involving thousands of ringgit in losses for 225 Felda Lok Heng Timur settlers in Kota Tinggi since 2019.

Felda Lok Heng Timur manager Mohd Aswat Othman said settlers were unable to enjoy maximum yield of the fruits due to damaged trees.
