There seems to be no end to elephant slaying in Sabah, with the latest grim “episode” involving the discovery of a badly mutilated carcass in Tongod. This is the final of two articles on the efforts being taken by the state authorities and non-governmental organisations to protect Sabah’s endangered pygmy elephants.
KOTA KINABALU, Feb 17: Their peaceful nature has earned them the ‘gentle giant’ moniker. Sadly, Sabah’s Borneo pygmy elephant – an elephant subspecies found mainly on the island of Borneo – population is declining fast due to habitat loss and the never-ending human-animal conflict.

Stemming from the advice given by Arahat
Mahinda to King Devanampiya Tissa (3 C.BCE), that all beings including the
animals in the forest and the birds in the air have a right to live, tradition
dictated that all precious resources, are always protected. The thick forest
covered hills and mountains, referred to, by Ferguson (1815) as black, leach
infested and full of animals”, were dedicated to the Gods or Devas, and as a
royal decree ensured its continuous protection, very few went in to desecrate
it.
The central highlands were mostly uninhabited;
the few villages that existed were limited to the edges of the fertile valleys.

Xavi started an online fundraiser to support elephants at Wildlife SOS, a wildlife conservation non profit charity in India that runs the Elephant Conservation and Care Center in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. Xavi was excited about helping Raju the elephant after seeing his story.
Xavi, a student from Sussex, set up a Facebook fundraising campaign, organized raffles, and a silent auction. Xavi and his classmates received a zoom call with elephants as a surprise!

Xavi shared, in his writing, with Wildlife SOS,
“NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE A SLAVE. I felt like my brain didn’t work but now I know it works to help all the elephants. I love elephants and I have been learning about Raju the crying elephant at school. It made me feel sad watching how he was treated. I am so happy that Raju is now in a happy place being looked after by kind people at Wildlife SOS”
