KOTA KINABALU: Participants of a conference on orang utan, the first of its kind to be held in Sabah, have called on the state government to review its current and future forest management plans to ensure survival of the globally endangered species.
In a resolution adopted at the closing of the three-day International Workshop on Orang Utan Conservation in Sabah on Thursday, they expressed concern that recent surveys confirmed that the remaining wild population of the Pongo pygmaeus faced a high risk of extinction.
