Great loss: Gelugob in her paddock at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has reiterated its call for Indonesia’s help in saving the Sumatran rhinoceros in a bid to prevent the species from going extinct.

“We have only a pair left. The female rhino is sickly and presently put on 24-hour surveillance. It has lost about 50kg since July,” said state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew.
