KOTA KINABALU: Threats against the protected pangolin, including poaching, have reduced in Sabah, but it doesn’t mean these species are safe now.

Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) director Prof. Dr Benoît Goossens said that while the cases reported and recorded have reduced, poaching of pangolins was still ongoing.
