    The document summarizes information about the endangered Borneo Pygmy Elephant. It discusses that there are only around 1,500 remaining in the wild in Sabah, and over 100 have died in the last eight years. Their habitat is being destroyed and fragmented by palm oil plantations, and they are threatened by conflicts with humans and poaching. The conclusion states that the best way to save the species is by promoting awareness, protecting habitats, and establishing natural corridors between forest fragments to allow access to food and mating.

    Introduction :
     Borneo pygmy elephant is one of
    endangered.
     Borneo pygmy elephant eats sugar cane and
    the elephant height is 8.2 meters tall.
     Borneo pygmy weight about 6,500-11,000
    pounds
     their habitat is lower Kinabatangan flood
    pain in the state of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo
    and occasionally, in the Indonesian state of
    East Kalimantan.
     The Bornean elephant is the largest of
    Borneo's mammals.
    Information :
     Borneo pygmy elephants are usually found in
    Sabah.
     But today poachers still seek them out for
    their husks
     A herd of elephant go to another forest to
    find new habitat and food resource.
     Many elephants were killed because expect
    damage the corps.
     Together we raise awareness and save Borneo
    pygmy elephants.
     Borneo pygmy elephants are threatened by
    habitat loss
     fragmentation, hunting and poaching, and
    reduced genetic diversity due to their small
    population size.
    Information :
     And elephant due to their smaller size at 8.2-9.8 feet tall.
     They have large ears, round bellies, and long tails that
    may brush to the ground as they walk.
     Females are smaller than their male counterparts and
    either lack or have shortened tusks the tip of a pygmy
    elephants has a single.
     These endemic Bornean elephant are losing their homes
    and families.
     There's only 1500 of them left in the wild Sabah.
    Information :
     Over 100 elephants have died in the last eight
    years of Sabah.
     Prehensile finger, which it use to collect
    grasses, leaves, fruits and other plants.
     These majestic animals typically represent one
    of the largest mammals.
     Poaching among Bornean elephants, how
    increased over the years.
     The plight of the Bornean elephant went
    relatively unnoticed for many years.
     The creatures are sometimes killed by poachers
    as ivory fetches as a high price on the black
    market, although villagers who see the
    creatures as a pet also target them.
    Cause :
     Conflict with humans. Shrinking forests
    bring the elephants into more frequent
    contact with people, increasing human
    elephant conflict in the region.
    Palm trees Fruits
    .  Due to extensive habitat loss, today,
    many Bornean elephants spend much of
    their time in plantations or travel
    through them to reach fragmented
    forest patches.

    Borneo pygmy elephants eat :


    Natural corridors can prove effective in conserving
    How to prevent ?

    the current pygmy elephant population by allowing


    safe passage to move freely between fragmented
    forests habitats.

    This would allow more access to food, shelter and


    mating for the remaining population of pygmy
    elephants.
    Conclusion :
     So we have to help them, how to help ?
     The first step is we should not kill them.
     We should not destroy their habitat.
     The best possible way to save the Borneo
    Pygmy Elephant is by promoting
    collective action through awareness and
    education. Protect and share our wild
    habitats could become more common in
    the future as the human population
    increases along with our demands.
     Hence, natural corridors can help to
    reduce our impact on wild life by linking
    important fragmented habitats, while we
    create wild habitats.
     Together we raise awareness and save
    Borneo Pygmy Elephant.
    Help us..
