Kota Kinabalu: Sabah has its own uniqueness in the context of environmental sustainability, said Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry’s Deputy Secretary (Environmental Sustainability) Datuk Nor Yahati Awang.
“This is based on a wildlife study conducted by National Geographic which reveals that for an area of 10 square kilometres, Sabah has more flora and fauna than the continents of North America and Europe.“
As for river quality, over the eight-year period from 2016 to 2023, based on records in the Environmental Quality Report, no river in Sabah was categorised as polluted, despite the State having the most palm oil factories in Malaysia,” said Nor Yahati.
This achievement, she noted, was the result of cooperation and strong support from relevant government agencies in river management, as well as the responsible role played by palm oil industry stakeholders in Sabah.
