KOTA KINABALU: Efforts are underway to drive back a herd of about 40 Borneo pygmy elephants into a forest reserve after they encroached into a plantation in Sabah's east coast area of Ulu Segama in Lahad Datu.

A six-member team of rangers has moved them back into the forests to ensure the elephants are not hurt, as well as to minimise damages to the plantations they trespassed into on Thursday (Oct 4).
