Six elephants captured in Kluang under translocation operation
JOHOR BAHRU: The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) has successfully captured six elephants in Kluang as part of an ongoing translocation operation. The initiative, which began on Monday, targets areas around Kampung Pinggir and Kampung Sri Lukut to address rising human-elephant conflicts. State Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon confirmed the captures, noting that the elephants are sizable, with some standing up to two metres tall. 'The elephants captured are quite large, with some reaching up to two metres tall and they are part of a group from the national park, which has been causing conflict in the Kampung Sri Lukut area of late,' he said in a Facebook post. The operation, led by the Johor and Peninsular Perhilitan Elephant Translocation Unit (UTG), aims to relocate elephant groups encroaching on agricultural and residential zones. Beyond mitigating conflicts, the effort seeks to restore ecological balance by controlling elephant populations outside their natural habitats. Scientific data collected during the operation will also help refine wildlife management policies. The Johor government has allocated RM600,000 to support the translocation, reinforcing its commitment to conservation and sustainable wildlife management. - BERNAMA

Jumbo trouble: Six elephants from notorious herd captured in Johor village
KLUANG, July 17 — The Johor Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) managed to capture six wild elephants during an operation within the vicinity of Kampung Pinggir here today. Johor Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said all six elephants, described as disruptive, were captured at 2pm during the Integrated Elephant Translocation Operation that was led by Perhilitan. He said the operation, that started on Monday in Sembrong, was mounted following complaints that the wild elephants had caused disturbance for villagers in Kampung Sri Lukut near here. 'The captured wild elephants, with some measuring up to two metres in height, have been identified as belonging to the Taman Negara ID herd. 'This particular herd has been known to frequently cause trouble and create conflicts,' he said in a posting on his official Facebook page today.

Yesterday, Johor Perhilitan announced that it would mount a large-scale Integrated Elephant Translocation Operation to relocate 25 elephants from conflict zones across Peninsular Malaysia, starting this month through July next year. Perhilitan director-general Datuk Abdul Kadir Abu Hashim said the operation is a strategic move to address the issue of elephant-human conflict in a comprehensive and effective manner. He said Johor was the first state to host the operation. The Integrated Elephant Translocation Operation aims to systematically reduce elephant conflict in high-risk locations, identify and relocate elephant groups that are actively disrupting agricultural areas, villages and residential areas. In addition, the operation also aims to restore the ecosystem through wild elephant population control outside of their original habitat and the collection of scientific data to improve management policies.
