A natural treasure A hotspot of biodiversity Home of thousands of species that live together under the same forest canopy Home of the Bornean elephant A rare subspecies, small in size Only found on these green fertile lands As all elephants, the Bornean elephants are always moving They follow migration routes along the Kinabatangan river Unparallelled deforestation in human history is destroying and breaking up their habitat Migration routes have been interrupted and food is scarce Forced to cross plantations Since there is no other way With human-elephant conflicts getting more intense each year 30 years ago 75% of Borneo was covered with forest Two thirds of that forest has now been cut mostly for palm oil plantations A battle between economy and ecology Extinction looms Bring the Elephant Home Together with local organizations HUTAN, MESCOT, Danau Girang Field Centre and the Sabah Wildlife Department Are working to restore the lost forest and regenerate green corridors for the Bornean elephants By capacity building community participation research and lots of tree planting! We strive for a world of diversity with space for all We struggle for a green world for ourselves and future generations As we know that to protect natural habitat is to protect ourselves You can also take action The time is now!
