Thumbs-up to conservation effort of Tawau Hills Park

TAWAU: The State Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment takes pride in the successful effort of Sabah Parks in conserving and preserving the Tawau Hills Park over the last 45 years for leisure, health, family, education, research and tourism benefits.

“This area has never been logged, so if we want to see the real jungle, this is the place. It is an important water catchment area in the Tawau district. “Under KePKAS, efforts to upgrade the public facilities at THP to provide comfort to visitors have been ongoing since 2021 until this year. Tourism infrastructure development projects were completed at a cost of RM4.3 million. “These include the construction of a new viewing platform and broad-way to the waterfall site, and the building of public toilets, new car parks, fences and the gate,” Liew said at a recent event to mark the 25th Anniversary of THP Gazettement, here.

And with its diversity and abundance of flora and fauna of high value, the Minister noted that Tawau Hills Park is not only a haven for wildlife observation but also an iconic research area to both domestic and international researchers who have conducted research on birds, insects and the Bornean clouded leopard, among others.
