Highway through Tawai reserve will only make elephant poaching easier, say green groups


KOTA KINABALU: Conservationists have renewed calls for a stop for the proposed Pan Borneo Highway stretch that cuts through the Tawai Forest Reserve in Telupid after last week's brutal beheading of a Borneo pygmy elephant.

The Humans Habitats Highways (3H) Coalition said the highway construction through Tawai must be halted and priority given to the protection of elephant habitats.
