KOTA KINABALU (May 23): Efforts to strengthen awareness and local community involvement in the conservation of Sabah's natural heritage have been successfully intensified through the implementation of the DaMaI Rainforest Landscape Awareness Programme, held from May 21 to 23 at the iconic Maliau Basin Conservation Area in Maliau Basin, often referred to as 'The Lost World of Sabah'. The programme was organised through a strategic collaboration under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Yayasan Sabah Group and the Sabah Environmental Trust (SET). The ceremony was officiated by the Assistant Minister of Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Sabah cum Member of Parliament for Kalabakan, Datuk Andi Muhammad Suryady Haji Bandy. Also in attendance were the Nabawan District Officer, Marshal Anthony, Sook District Officer Caroline Benjamin Jiungan and the Group Manager of the Conservation and Environmental Management Division, Dr Waidi Sinun, who represented the director of Yayasan Sabah. The programme's primary objective is to enhance public understanding of the ecological significance of the DaMaI Rainforest Landscape and its potential to be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More than just an informative effort, the programme seeks to actively empower local communities to protect this biologically rich and invaluable natural heritage. In addition, the programme helps promote the DaMaI Initiative to advance conservation efforts within the conservation areas under the purview of the Yayasan Sabah Group. A total of 88 participants took part in the programme, comprising representatives from state government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), staff of the Yayasan Sabah Group, and community leaders from the districts of Kalabakan, Nabawan, Sapulut, Tawau, and Sook. This reflects the ongoing commitment to strengthening community collaboration in conservation efforts under the DaMaI Initiative. Yayasan Sabah Group remains steadfast in its commitment to cultivating a deep appreciation for the environment while empowering communities to play a pivotal role in advancing conservation efforts across Sabah. The Maliau Basin, with its unparalleled beauty and ecological significance, not only embodies the state's rich natural heritage but also serves as a powerful symbol of hope. It is a reminder that this invaluable natural legacy can be safeguarded and passed on to future generations through collective awareness, collaboration, and unwavering commitment.
