KOTA KINABALU: The state Elephant Conservation Action Plan 2020-2030 is expected to include clauses that will see plantation workers and owners held accountable for hurting and killing elephants within their orchards.

While the Federal Government is looking at amending laws to impose stricter punishment on crimes against wildlife, the Sabah government hopes the guidelines will push the plantation industry to do more to protect wild animals.
