PETALING JAYA: The Government should immediately come up with a plan to solve the problem of elephants losing their habitat to protect the endangered species in Malaysia, said the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Malaysia.

This is in line with World Elephant Day today, which aims to honour elephants, spread awareness of the critical threats they face and support solutions to ensure their survival.
