KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Satellite tracking of pygmy elephants has found that the endangered animals -- unique to Borneo island -- are under threat due to logging and commercial plantations encroaching on their habitat, conservationists said Thursday.

Very little was known about pygmy elephants until a chance DNA analysis in 2003 revealed them to be a distinct subspecies of Asian elephants, which triggered a new effort to conserve them. - CNN

I hope a way can be found to save these animals.

Lets hope that these unique creatures are properly protected. The extinction of the Yangtzee River Dolphin is a huge disaster, and this could very well end up on the same scale.
