In
tragic news, the Borneo pygmy elephant — the smallest
living elephant — is teetering on the brink of
extinction. With only about 1,000 of these majestic
creatures left in the wild, urgent action is necessary.
Deforestation, human-wildlife conflict, and increasing
agricultural pressures threaten their survival.
Sign this petition to
urge increased protection for Borneo's
elephants!
In
just four decades, 60% of their forest habitat has been
destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations, timber
extraction, and sprawling infrastructure projects like
the Pan Borneo Highway. As their space dwindles, these
gentle giants wander into human territories, often
leading to deadly conflicts. While the Malaysian and
Indonesian governments have plans to help these
elephants, we must encourage them to ramp up their
conservation efforts to safeguard these irreplaceable
animals! Sign the petition to
urge these governments to commit to comprehensive and
immediate conservation actions for Borneo's
elephants!
