KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is getting all parties including villagers and wildlife rangers to be part of wildlife protection efforts following the failed attempt to prevent the Sumatran rhino from going extinct in Malaysia. She said it was the government's policies to have villagers and local communities partner with wildlife rangers and the Wildlife Department to prevent the killing of protected species in Sabah. "We need to get all in Sabah to be on board in our struggle to prevent the extinction of another species," Liew said. Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said the department has prepared management plans for most of the endangered and protected species in Sabah. Tam, the last surviving male rhino, is suffering from liver and kidney damage and is already under palliative care.
