Good day everyone :-D
Just wanna open for a discussion about will you conserve exotic animal?
I went camping in Kinabatangan River, somewhere in Borneo where pygmy elephant can be found...the elephant is actually not native means that it might be brought in during 16th-18th centuries to help carrying timber out of the forest...When technologies came in, people use trucks and lorries to do the job and then left the elephant to survive on their own in the forest. Todays, the forest were cut down and people use the land for oil palm plantation. Because of expanding human development, the elephant is now endangered with not more than 1000 elephants left in Borneo. So, the WWF decided to conserve the pygmy elephant.
In my opinion, exotic animal shouldnt be conserve in habitat that is not native to them because they cause competition for food and space to live...what do you think?
