Signs of conservation success as elephant herds graze on Napier grass in Kinabatangan


KOTA KINABALU: Hot on the heels of a herd of Bornean elephants feeding on Napier grass planted in Kinabatangan's Bilit eco-tourism area, their jumbo "cousins" have also been seen foraging on the grass in neighbouring Lahad Datu.

"Two elephant herds have entered the grass-planted pasture area in the Tabin Wildlife Reserve on Aug 12. This is great to see, and it has been their longest stay in the area," Borneo Rhino Alliance (Bora) chief executive officer Datuk Dr John Payne said.
