“It is hard for the elephants to get food now,” said Arid Data Kesuma, a staff member of the Heart of Borneo World Wide Fund for Nature Indonesia, in a press release which Tempo received yesterday.

Arif said that this has caused a reduction in the Kalimantan elephant population and, based on the last survey, there were only 60-70 Pygmy Borneo elephants left.
