Natives at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu are expected to be co-protectors of the geopark.
CONSERVATION of Mount Kinabalu ecology with the local community promotes social happiness as the mountain ecosystem is a unique treasure trove of biodiversity consisting of 2.5 per cent of the earth’s flora.
That is why it deserves its status as a Unesco World Heritage Site and, hopefully, its aspiring Unesco Global Geopark as well which will be a happy development for the world community, as one of nature’s best in the global natural biodiversity and endemism ecosystem.
