How they can kill even an Elephant puppy? Fourteen endangered Borneo pygmy elephants have been found dead in a Malaysian forest, presenting a mystery for wildlife officials and conservationists. We got now 40,000 signatures! 10,000 new signatures in last 14 days! A great success, thank you for your great support, but we can do even more! Its time to push. For instance, in agricultural areas in neighboring Sumatra, people have put out poisoned fruit for elephants to eat, causing a whole herd to drop dead in one area. The poison is usually whatever is locally available, such as rodenticide. Pygmy elephants were isolated about 300,000 years ago from their relatives on mainland Asia and Sumatra and evolved their small size to adapt to forest living. But the population of this charismatic mini-elephant is dwindling in number as large tracts of Borneos forests are cleared to make way for palm oil plantations, restricting the animals to increasingly smaller areas and forcing them into closer contact with people. Deforestation has even disastrous effects on the soil, the climate and ultimately on villages and people.
