Shafie warns plantations to protect wildlife

KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal (pic) issued a stern warning to all plantation and timber industry operators to ensure they protect the environment and wildlife in their respective areas.

Shafie called the recent brutal killing and de-tusking of a bull Bornean Pygmy elephant, which might have been facilitated by plantation security guards, as a "selfish act for personal gain".
