KOTA KINABALU: The powers that be must take into account the needs of the Bornean pygmy elephants in all their development plans now that the animal has been officially recognised as an endangered species internationally, said an expert.
Dr Nurzhafarina Othman said the Bornean elephant was classified as such under the updated International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species on Wednesday (June 26).
