Snare traps remain a threat to Sabah wildlife


Bath time: A WRU ranger caring for Taburi at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.

KOTA KINABALU: It has been almost three years but Taburi the elephant is still bearing the scar from a leg wound she suffered after getting tangled in a wire snare.

Taburi was a calf of just about 1.2m in height when she was discovered by estate workers who heard her cries at an oil palm estate in Lahad Datu.
