In conjunction with International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 May, partners and stakeholders gathered at Tabin Wildlife Reserve to support a habitat-enrichment initiative aimed at reducing human-elephant conflict.

The grass-planting activity, led by the Sabah Forestry Department in collaboration with the Sabah Wildlife Department, BORA, and WWF-Malaysia, is part of a broader landscape-level conservation approach in Tabin. By establishing sustainable food sources within the forest, these efforts help draw elephants away from plantations and villages.

This ongoing work demonstrates how targeted, site-based actions like grass planting can deliver wider, larger-scale outcomes, enhancing habitat quality, supporting wildlife needs, and strengthening coexistence between people and elephants across the landscape.
