KOTA KINABALU: The Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry will meet up with Sabah wildlife authorities to find out the reason for scores of elephant deaths in and around oil palm estates in the state.

Its minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said she was taken aback to learn that many Bornean pygmy elephants have met their deaths in plantation areas on Sabah's east coast.

“I just heard about this elephant calf dying from its injuries,” Zuraida told reporters after attending the Malaysian Cocoa Industry Awards ceremony here on Wednesday night. “We need to see how we can overcome this,” she said, adding that she would also consider using allocations from the ministry’s green fund to aid in the animals' conservation.
