Wildllife experts have found fresh tracks of Sumatran Rhino, reported in March 1981. There may be as many as 10 rhinos in the lowland forests of Silabukan on the coast of Sabah, Patrick Andau, the assistant game warden said. Intensive logging activities are a real threat to the future survival. Since 1975 at least two rhinos have been illegally killed in the Silabukan area. The Game department has posted two rangers to patrol the areas where the animals are found and has banned fire arms in the forest reserves.
