Recommendations at AsRSG meeting, 1982. For practically the whole Silabukan rhino range, the Sabah Foundation has a logging consession. At present, several logging teams are operating. Evidently, this causes serious disturbances to the rhinos. In addition, some time ago, a rhino was shot by loggers. The objectives in the interest of rhino conservation are (a) to stop illegal hunting of rhinos, (b) to save as large an area as possible from being logged, (c) to select patterns of logging to which the rhinos are able to adapt. Evidently these objectives necessitate negotiations with the Sabah Foundation and supervision of the loggers' activities by guards.
