Group: Authorities failed to provide secure wildlife corridor

Trail of destruction....hungry elephants destroyed orang asli's food crop in Kampung Jadeh, Pos Simpor, Kelantan

PETALING JAYA: The intrusion of elephants into Orang Asli villages in Kelantan is an indication of failure by authorities to provide secure wildlife corridor for these animals, says an environmental group.

Environmental Protection Society Malaysia president Nithi Nesadurai said authorities should have imposed stringent conditions to protect wildlife before giving permits for logging and land-clearing activities.
