Pan Borneo a threat to Sabah’s wildlife

Kota Kinabalu: Coalition Humans Habitats Highways (3H) fears that the Pan Borneo Highway is cutting through and fragmenting ecologically sensitive areas which include densely populated elephant forest reserves and affecting thousands of community dwellings.

 Thus, it seeks “wider discussions” on  many unanswered social and environmental impacts of the 2,000km Highway although its advocates hail it as a boost for the economies of Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan
