BACK to exciting travel writing as a roving reporter. The usual thing is everybody travels to places. What about travel to hearts and minds to see what unsung folks in Sabah’s Murut heartlands are thinking and doing? In so doing, I was stunned by a core of real conservationists doing real conservation among people one least expects – Murut Tahol in the middle of nowhere set to monetise their stock of belian treasure standing rather than logged and cut down for short term money!

Even Kinabatangan river was only light yellow, intact forest canopies and massive trees soared around Batu Pungul ....
