Wildlife enforcement set to focus on non-hotspot areas in Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife enforcers are looking into focusing their anti-poaching efforts on areas outside the usual high-risk spots, says conservationist Dr Benoit Goossens.

He said these spots include Kinabatangan and Tabin in Lahad Datu as well as Kota Belud and Kudat, adding that although there are Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) patrol units at these places, the focus is more on the turtle egg trade.
