PETALING JAYA: More funds should be used on the battle to wipe out job scams instead of spending them on the victims who were lured to work overseas for these syndicates.
KOTA KINABALU: A mapping exercise during a marine conservation conference here found that 17 coastal community groups are protecting more than 12,000ha of marine and coastal areas in Sabah.
Members from indigenous communities, government agencies, civil society groups and research institutes came together to streamline efforts in expanding the protection of Sabah’s marine environment during the event. The event was co-hosted by the Sabah Forestry Department in collaboration with WWF-Malaysia, Forever Sabah, Pacos Trust and Reef Check Malaysia.
“The department acknowledges the significant contribution of coastal communities in protecting 30% of Malaysian seas and coasts by 2030, aligning with the global conservation target set during the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity,” he said. Community members also described how local government bodies can further support ongoing work to enrich coastal livelihoods, alongside streamlining customary laws within a policy framework.
