No Sumatran rhinoceros have been detected in Sabah by the latest surveys, indicating that the species may have become extinct. Wildlife Department, has in the past collaborated with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) like Borneo Rhino Alliance and WWF Malaysia to conduct rhino population surveys at the forest reserves of Ulu Segama and Ulu Malua as well as Tabin Wildlife Reserve, and identified as the key areas for this species. Amongst the methods are forest exploration and camera traps to detect the presence of rhinos. However, these studies did not find any rhino footprints, and the cameras did not record any pictures either.
