The Sabah Wildlife Department has offered a reward to those who can provide accurate information on the killing of two rare elephant species by poachers for ivory near Segama River recently.

Its assistant director, Dr Sen Nathan, said the department will give a cash reward of RM10,000 to those who can give accurate information on the incident.

"The reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the poachers," he said when contacted by Bernama today.

Members of the public with accurate information related to the incident can contact the Sabah Wildlife Department at 013-5441980.

In December, Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) and Wildlife Protection Unit (WRU) found two wild bull elephants killed by poachers for ivory, near Sungai Segama in Kawag Forest Reserve.
