ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN SABAH

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN SABAH:

IT'S A NOBLE DUTY TO PROTECT IT

FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS

By

Allan Dumbong

Sabah is beautiful. Sabah is rich in bio-diversity. Sabah is attractive. Sabah's economy could prosper by just promoting the tourism industry. But we face challenges. Our environment is not fully protected. Many people are not aware of the importance to protect and conserve the environment. We'll lose in many things if we don't do our duty and responsibity to protect the environment. We must protect it not only for us, the present generation, but more importantly the future generations. I'd like to invite all of you, patrotic Sabahans, to stand in unison to protect our environment.

Following are some of my involvement in protecting the environment in Sabah. I hope to do my part. How about you???
