Stebbins, R.
1963
Feb. 27 A rhino brings about $10,000 U.S., enough
to set up an aboriginal for life. Hunters
follow an injured animal doggedly,
shooting it repeatedly until it dies.
Shot guns have virtually eliminated
the horn-bills in Borneo and most of
the larger birds and mammals.
Smaller things still persist, however.
Over 76% of Borneo is still virgin
growth and nearly the same
percentage pertains in Malaya,
although there, rubber planting, etc.
is rapidly making inroads.
