KOTA KINABALU: Development, poaching and illegal trapping of Sabah’s wildlife are endangering protected species such as the Bornean Banteng (wild buffalo), proboscis monkey and Sunda Clouded Leopard.

To address the issue, a 10-year action plan to help protect these species is expected to be handed to the state Cabinet soon.
