The Sumatran rhino at Silabukan, Sabah

For most of the Silabukan range the Sabah Foundation has a logging concession. At present several logging teams are operating. Evidently this causes serious disturbance for the rhinos. Some time ago a rhino was shot by the loggers. The objectives in the interest of conservation are: (1) to stop illegal hunting of rhino; (2) to save as large an area aspossible from being logged; (c) to choose patterns of logging to which rhinos are able to adapt. Evidently these objectives necessitate negotiations with the Sabah Foiundation and supervision of the logger activities by guards.
