Kota Kinabalu: The State Government represented by the Sabah Forestry Department and Sabah Wildlife Department has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) together with the Yayasan Sabah Group and Sabah Environmental Trust (SET) to establish a Patrol Initiative Cooperation (Enforcement and Monitoring) in DaMal Rainforest Landscape (DRL).
“I understand that from 2017 to 2023, a total of 644 patrols have been carried out, covering a total area of 252,299 square kilometres and there have been 61 arrests that have been successfully made throughout the DaMaI area to combat forest crimes such as hunting and illegal logging,” he said.
